When a gifted person's inner drive toward self-actualization is blocked -- by low self esteem, unresolved dependency needs, shame, depression, internalization of abuse, or fear -- their very sense of aliveness is thwarted. The best psychological recovery and growth for gifted individuals is that which is provided by exceptionally talented facilitators and by those who understand what it is to be gifted.

Martha J. Morelock
Find relief by learning how feelings and situations that have caused you worry and unhappiness in the past are solvable and can be explained in terms of giftedness.
Whether you are struggling with your own issues, those of your spouse or are living with difficult parents or family members, working with a skilled therapist who knows how to work with gifted and creative adults can help you manage your emotions and deal with difficult people and situations more effectively. An inability to notice our true feelings leaves us at their mercy. People with greater certainty about their feelings are better pilots of their lives, having a surer sense...about personal decisions from whom to marry to what job to take. Daniel Goleman

Marriage Therapy and Relationship Counseling Coaching and Therapy Family Therapy Good and Bad Procrastination
Paul Graham
The most impressive people I know are all terrible procrastinators. So could it be that procrastination isn't always bad? Most people who write about procrastination write about how to cure it. But this is, strictly speaking, impossible. There are an infinite number of things you could be doing. No matter what you work on, you're not working on everything else. So the question is not how to avoid procrastination, but how to procrastinate well........More Why Smart People Defend Bad Ideas
Scott Berkun

Having spent many years working with smart people I’ve catalogued many of the ways this happens, and I have advice on what to do about it. I feel qualified to write this essay as I’m a recovering smart person myself and I’ve defended several very bad ideas.....More The Power of Apology
