Episode 7- The “me” behind the mask: why some gifted children and adults hide their true selves

In this episode we explore why many gifted children and adults feel they have to hide their true selves in order to avoid criticism and negative attention. We discuss the damaging costs of growing up and living this way, and suggest several steps we can take to live an authentic life as a gifted person in a society that often prefers conformity over creativity.
