Welcome to my Revised, Rejuvenated, Retrofitted Website/Blog
It has been a journey. These revisions. This upgrade. What was I thinking? After all, at my age, I should be retiring. Not upleveling my website/blog. And there were so many bugs to work out with this complex a change. There still are. I am not even sure those of you who have subscribed will […]

How To Face Your Fear Of Failure
I could not have said it better myself. In the words of a courageous bloggEE: “…Fear of failure – yes, I’ve had that too, and still have. I was a perfectionist all the way to my fingertips and toes (and still am). I almost drowned in the impostor syndrome, falling into the bottomless pit of […]

A Totally Anecdotal Unscientific Explanation of a Particular Variety of High Intelligence from an Absolutely Nonacademic Tango Dancing Psychotherapist
Did you know that if you search for scholarly articles that define intelligence you will find 46,200,000 of them? If you look for articles defining giftedness, you will find 7,550,000.

The Ramifications Of Any Single Thought Are Endless — The Intensity Of Giftedness
One of the painful struggles I see in gifted adults is that in many, perhaps most, situations, they are not free to be fully themselves. For lots of reasons.
