Positive Disintegration Podcast

This is a wonderful theory presented by two passionate people, with thoughtful and insightful conversations with a large variety of people. I’ve learned so much from each episode, and look forward to diving deeper into this positive outlook on outward facing struggles.

The Theory of Positive Disintegration is discussed and made understandable through each and every podcast segment with Emma, Chris and their guests. Each guest, as well as both Emma and Chris, have life stories that are relatable, and that support, inform and validate. Whether you or a family member is gifted, experiencing overexcitabilities, or moving through a positive disintegration, you will find this podcast highly enlightening.

As an avid podcast listener, I’m always on the lookout for podcasts with a great format that discuss theories I’m interested in (and TPD has always been on the top of the list). The structure of this podcast is absolutely thought-provoking while bringing unique and tangible insights out of its guests. As a gifted education professional myself, I love hearing thoughtful people discuss what inspires their work. The hosts are relatable and honest with balanced approaches to controversial information. They are extremely hard workers bringing an astounding mix of humility and confidence to everything they do. Thank you for providing an online hub where fans of Dabrowski can geek out!

I’m deep into podcasts extending over the last decade and a half (at least). The Positive Disintegration podcast is the first for which I’ve ever left a rating after the very first listen. It’s that on-point vis-à-vis the world of gifted, twice-exceptional, multipotentialite, and other neurodivergent beings. That is, folks who may often feel they are neither round nor square pegs, but rather multi-sided polygons that can morph and be malleable over time and environments. I came here to further explore and grow my understanding of Dabrowski’s Positive Disintegration theory. I certainly have found a path to this and much more in pleasantly unexpected ways. Perhaps, check out the Disintegrating Duck episode to start. It’s examines the well-known and accessible tale of the The Ugly Duckling through the lens of folks who feel like they “just can’t fit in” with respect to “normal” culture and society (P.S. there is no normal!). It may just lift your spirits to know that there are others who have similar experiences and who see and hear you. And who have found ways to thrive.
