"I developed the analogy of the rainforest mind because I needed a way to explain giftedness to teachers and really anybody who wasn’t sure what does it mean. There are so many different definitions...some people think it’s achievement. Some people think it’s personality or brain."
Paula Prober is a psychotherapist and consultant specializing in gifted adults and families. This episode includes excerpts from a couple of interviews.
She continues in one interview:
"So some people are like meadows, some are like deserts, or oceans, and some people are like the rainforest and all those ecosystems are beautiful and valuable and important.
"And the rainforest ecosystem is just the most complex. And that’s like our gifted people. They’re full of ideas and many layers, and there’s so much going on...colorful and intense and highly sensitive."
Continue below to see links to source interviews, some of her sites and books, links to articles, short video and more. Plus some related resources for gifted adults.
