Positive Disintegration Podcast
If you're exploring better ways to manage your mental health, a gifted or creative person who feels the world intensely, or going through a crisis (dark night of the soul), this podcast might be for you!
What can be positive about disintegration? It’s a psychology framework for understanding intense experiences that often look and feel like mental illness, but which can also be viewed as building blocks for creating an authentic personality.
With our guests, we explore the theory of positive disintegration, overexcitabilities, giftedness, mental health and developing your authentic self.
This podcast is hosted by Emma from the Adults With Overexcitabilities YouTube channel, and Chris Wells, a Dabrowski scholar, researcher, and writer. The podcast is also available on Substack, Apple and Spotify.
