People may not be aware of the shame gifted kids and adults may carry within them, and how this can affect their emotional well being. As a therapist, I was seeing this in clients. I have the opportunity in my own private practice to support gifted people and the unique emotional struggles they face.

Gifted adults carry a trauma that few recognize. Intelligence becomes a source of humiliation, requiring constant self-editing and performative humility just to survive socially.

I couldn’t say this any better.

Stop minimizing and discounting your feelings. You have every right to feel the way you do. Your feelings may not always be logical, but they are always valid.

Because if you feel something, then you feel it and it’s real to you. It’s not something you can ignore or wish away. It’s there, gnawing at you, tugging at your core, and in order to find peace, you have to give yourself permission to feel whatever it is you feel.
.. You have to drown out the voices of people who try to shame you into silence. You have to listen to the sound of your own breathing and honor the truth inside you.

Because despite what you may believe, you don’t need anyone’s validation or approval to feel what you feel. Your feelings are inherently right and true. They’re important and they matter — you matter — and it is more than okay to feel what you feel. Don’t let anyone, including yourself, convince you otherwise.

Focusing on our body can be, at times, more soothing than using our intellect to calm emotions.

There are therapies to help adults recognize and heal from their childhood emotional neglect. It is possible to experience the emotional life you want in adulthood.
