Adult Giftedness: Misunderstood and Misdiagnosed

 Using examples from her counseling practice and her analogy of the rainforest mind, Paula Prober, M.S. will detail the complexities of adult giftedness and provide strategies and resources to help gifted adults understand themselves, communicate with others, and find self-acceptance.  Issues include: sensitivities, perfectionism, multipotentiality, schooling, parenting, counseling, relationships, impostor syndrome, and decision-making. The focus will be on the many ways gifted adults are misunderstood with some information on misdiagnosis.
