This week's show is with Chris Wells PhD, LSW, a neurodivergent writer, social worker, and Dąbrowski scholar with a passion for studying and applying the theory of positive disintegration. They are also the founding president of the Dąbrowski Center and co-host of the Positive Disintegration Podcast.

In this episode, Chris and Lian explored the topic of 'Over-excitability', the body of work initially created by Dąbrowski. And together they explored the concepts of over-excitability and positive disintegration in the context of neurodivergence.

We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage.

What you'll learn from this episode:

• Over-excitabilities are intense and heightened experiences in five areas: psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional - which seem to map to different neurodivergent traits, challenges, and capabilities.
• Over-excitability and positive disintegration are concepts that provide a different lens to understand neurodivergence and personal growth, and the intersection between them… in other words how neurodivergence might in itself provide a path to self-illumination, transformation and integration.
• Understanding and celebrating over-excitabilities, and the unique ways they show up in individuals, can lead to compassion and a better understanding of oneself and others, and ultimately serve our journey of wholeness.
