Study the Theory
The pages in this section contains 101 basics on positive disintegration and overexcitability, media to take you deeper and further your learning, and some pop-culture analysis pieces to foster discussion from a different perspective.
Learn the Framework
Overviews and 101 posts to give you a starting point for your learning journey! A brief history of where the theory of positive disintegration came from, and some high-level overviews of some of the foundational concepts.
Remember that this is an alternative to the current mental health model, and may present some different ideas to what you already know about mental health, difficult emotions, and inner crisis!
Overexcitabilities
Find out more on overexcitabilities – what they are, who they effect, and how they can manifest in our lives.
If you are gifted, creative, sensitive, or neurodivergent, you might find mirroring here! Discover how overexcitability impacts our emotions, intellect, imagination, senses, and our bodies.
Positive Disintegration
Videos which will explain the theory a little more, and a link to the Positive Disintegration podcast (hosted by myself and Dr. Chris Wells) which can take you for a deeper dive through the lenses of different topics, and the experiences and expertise of our guests.
This is where you can explore more on the theory, and listen to lived experience stories on the podcast about: giftedness, mental health, neurodivergence, personal development, self-therapy, inner crisis, and more.
Pop-Culture Analysis
Some pop-culture analysis pieces which show how things like neurodivergence, giftedness, and journeys of disintegration can appear in media. This will provide some context, and some great points for discussion!
Here you can see how inner crisis and difficult emotions show up in some of our favourite fictional realms, and how beloved characters deal with their mental health, neurodivergence and their differences.
