It has been a while since I published an English blog. In the meantime, I studied a lot, wrote various texts in Dutch and reflected on my writing intentions.
New inspiration arrived this summer, and I am proud to announce a new post: "An XIP in full view"!
Searching for ways to understand and describe the effects of "sensorial experiences" on the excellent expression of XIPs and gifted individuals, I discovered Cognitive-Experiential Theory by Seymour Epstein.
Suddenly everything fell into place: The differences between Giftedness and Extra Intelligence, the differences between imaginal thinking and verbal thinking, the impact of feelings and emotions, the process of dealing with inner conflicts between "head and heart", etcetera.
I am happy and excited, and I hope to convey this emotion and its cause to you through my blog.
