Quotes from our guest, Dr. Alaina Puff:

“Our modern system of mental health is failing this subset of kids [highly intuitive kids] in a lot of ways. And failing their families as well, as far as giving them support and resources.”

“The interesting thing about intuition is that it’s highly heritable. Meaning if you have a  child that you’re perceiving to be highly intuitive, it’s likely you are too.” 

“They have big ideas, developmentally advanced from where we would expect them to be and they also felt things so deeply. For young people this can cause a lot of distress because they are still learning how to regulate their emotions.

“Flow State was born out of the intention of not only preventative intervention but from strengths based approach. There’s nothing wrong with your child. They may be struggling in some areas that they need support in and that’s okay. I think we can all identify with that to some degree.”
