GOAT.

Talk begins at 4:52.

The last couple minutes of this insightful presentation elicited quite the tearful reaction from me. I can tell that Dr. Silverman is a very empathic person and she certainly has an ability to communicate profoundly and with heart. I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to watch and listen to this insightful and meaningful presentation.

The part about if you don’t do exceptionally well with new things you must be stupid really got to me. That would be what teachers would say when I was a child , along with giftedness isn’t real. It was back and forth with is giftedness real or not real and is everyone gifted and therefore no one is.

Thank you very much Dr. Linda Silverman from India 🙏🙏

I like it when people say what their IQ is, bc then I know they're not only stupid but also narcissistic. They must believe the on-line 'IQ Test' is real. No one knows what their IQ score is, UNLESS they go back to their High School after graduating, and ask for it. They won't tell kids during their stay in school, for obvious reasons (bullying & bragging), but are happy to tell you afterward. Now, how many kids do ya think go back to the old High School and ask for their final IQ score? Just about none. I doubt most people want to know. If its lower than they like, they must live knowing that for life.😮

Great video. I enjoy Silverman’s work.

Actually, you can be sensitive and NOT GIFTED. I treat kids like this every week. They have sensory processing disorder with sensory sensitivity. They are not gifted emotionally, intellectually, artistically, or in any other way. I treat gifted kids as well, and they are easy to differentiate. Even if they are not intellectually gifted, they are a unique profile of intensity, drive, and complexity. Not every gifted person is sensitive to everything, as well. Linda needs to learn more about sensitivity before she tells everyone that is sensitive that they are gifted. Because they are NOT.

Thanks.

Any of you gifted people able to clean up the audio for us? PLEASE❤❤❤

Growing up I personally thought I was slow until I actually did well and realize now I would just second guess myself a lot and was and still am very reflective and constantly overthink, also imposter syndrome is very real. 😅

Thank you ❤.

Linda Silverman has a beautiful mind, I love listening to her

Thank you; you are sooo helpful and love your style and energy!

soectacular thoughts

Already, right from the get go, I want to ask - why is the anxiety something to 'get rid of'? My journey has led me to pay ATTENTION to the anxiety and unpack it. Anxiety isn't always an IRRATIONAL fear. Especially not for gifted children. They have considered so much more than a neurotypical person. I think this subject is a great simple generalisation, but I'm not sure if it's suited for gifted children.

Dr. Peters, what an awesome presentation! A “dorky little worry monster” is the best way for me to think of my irrational fears and anxieties. I have high-functioning autism. A good friend of mine from TAG sent me this video in hopes that it would help me deal with my OCD and anxiety issues. Interestingly enough, my worry monster causes me to worry about things from the past, in addition to the future. For instance, I think “oh my gosh, what if this had gone inaccurately?” Or, “what if my timing with something had been off, what then??”-even if I had been successful on something. Dilemmas in general are another big causal factor of worry for me. In addition to some of your coping strategies you listed, I have also done guided meditation/visualizations on UA-cam. They have really helped me along. Thanks again!

This talk was perfect! This is by far the most useful video on managing anxiety that I've ever come across. Thank you so much!!!
