In this episode I have a conversation with Jennifer Harvey Sallin about a topic I have already mentioned in my podcast multiple times: gifted trauma. During this episode Jennifer gives us more insight into what gifted trauma is and what happens inside your body and nervous system. We discuss the process of healing gifted trauma and the important role gifted peers and connecting to a universal ‘gifted energy’ can play.
