Counselling

[close] This group is for people who are interested in 1) philosophical and theoretical issues in psychotherapy and counseling and 2) mental health culture and history

[close] Inspired by the late Marshall Rosenberg, and his needs-based communication, in this group people from all walks of life meet to share about their experiences with NVC, to learn about it, to ask for help and offer it, respectively. This is an informal place to "talk NVC". For (more) formal training, please visit www.cnvc.org, or your local training group which you can find, hopefully, through your favorite search engine. I (Jerry) am an author and e-counselor, using mostly NVC in my practice, as well as in my writing; hence whatever knowledge of NVC I have, I'll be happy to share with anyone, and thrilled to learn more from any of you!

[close] This group is for Genetic Counselors to share reviews of the books they have read in order to help other GCs to better choose books they may enjoy!

[close] "We always benefit from coming together, sharing stories, and engaging in a community of peers who understand what we are going through." That's what licensed psychologist, author, and executive director at Summit Center Dan Peters said about participating in Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted's conference. More often than not, people are lone ships in a sea of so-called “normal” parents and families, navigating for themselves or that special gifted child or person in their lives. That's just one reason this Goodreads group exists. It's open to parents, educators, counseling professionals, and anyone who's seeking information. Discuss and share books and resources about gifted and giftedness. There is no reason any of us ever have to feel as if we are doing anything alone.
