Giftedness, HPI, HQI: when the body also needs room.

Giftedness (also called high intellectual potential (HPI), or HQI and THQI when the quotient is very high) describes a particular way of thinking, often marked by great speed of thought, emotional intensity and strong sensitivity.

It is neither an illness nor a superiority: it is a way of being in the world which, at times, can become tiring. The feeling of being out of step, the need for meaning, the difficulty of finding one's place sometimes weigh more than the thought itself.

For many HPI, HQI or THQI people, the body says it first: tension, agitation, somatisation, difficulty slowing down, settling, letting an emotion pass through without being overwhelmed.

There is no “right” moment, nor any “good” reason. People often come because something weighs on them, without always having the words to name it.

The session does not try to “silence” that intensity. It offers a space to experience it differently, starting from the body, sensations, movement and materials.

Through relaxation, movement, breathing, drawing, clay or therapeutic touch, the aim is to find support again, to inhabit a body sometimes held at a distance, and to give yourself permission to slow down.

This work happens at your own pace, leaving you room to think as much as to feel.
