Groundbreaking New Gifted/2e Brain Research from Expert Neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Tetreault
Dr. Nicole will present the latest groundbreaking research of the unique, creative, and intense gifted/2e brain in her newly released book "Insight Into A Bright Mind".
You will learn how these uniquely wired brains work by sharing unique stories, interviews and literary science, while advocating for new directions of human diversity and neurodiversity.
Insight Into a Bright Mind
Are you bright? Do you know someone who is? Among the bright population, many social, emotional, and intellectual abilities are unrecognized. Bright people are misunderstood and mislabeled as awkward geeks, mad scientists, maladjusted poets, oversensitive artists, hyperactive clowns, or antisocial misfits. Do you want to understand the neuroscience behind intelligent, sensitive and highly creative brains? Join Dr. Nicole and Dr. Mike for this important discussion, and you will learn how your brain is as unique as your fingerprint, and how your experience is elevated because you are simply "hard-wired" differently!
Be liberated to embrace your essence with greater self-compassion and awareness, and unlock your unconventional mind.
Valuable Discussion from Live Webinar with Support Materials and Recording to Keep
Dr. Postma and Dr. Tetreault will share over an hour of valuable and groundbreaking new research on the gifted/2e brain and provide helpful information you can implement right away. They will conclude and then have open time for live Q&A for all participants (all questions will be answered!). In addition, you will have the webinar recording to keep for future along with extra handouts and support materials to help you navigate in finding a supportive and productive environment for your gifted/2e child, teachers and family.
Gifted and twice-exceptional (“2e”) individuals perceive and respond to the world with elevated receptivity and processing which originates from our neurobiology and physiology. Neuroscience is illuminating how no two brains are alike. Each of our brains is as unique as our fingerprints. Dr. Tetreault advocates for neuroindividuality as the “new normal,” explaining how groundbreaking science leads us to nurture the entire individual: our gifts, our challenges, and everything in between. Revolutionize your thinking by understanding how gifted experiences may be intense because we are simply “hard-wired” differently! Learn about recent studies that report how high-IQ individuals can be uniquely at risk for psychological and physiological conditions. Explore positive practices centered around neuroscience and psychology to support whole individual. When we tap into our essence and share our gifts, we experience the light of coming into our full embodiment, where we live and thrive as liberated beings.
