Have you ever wanted support, only to minimize it the moment it’s offered?

In this episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen unpacks why gifted adults often block when support is given to them. She explains how an overprotective nervous system can interfere with our ability to receive, and how this pattern is often rooted in the experience of being a guardian child and the overwhelm many gifted adults carry.

You are worthy of support. You are worthy of connection, of kind words, and of nervous system regulation. Learning to receive is part of coming home to yourself.
