« Your research work is too important to disappear with you. »
— Pr. Tony Attwood, clinical psychologist, expert on Asperger’s Syndrome, speaker, author. Queensland, Australia.

« I am really interested to see more of your modeling. I love the paragraph where you describe similar very important concepts. The pre-shock drift is, sadly, completely missed by many physicians. One possible reason is that parameters we choose here are generally not stored in a graphic way but instead as numbers. I have been surprised and also upset at the slow reaction when somebody is drifting into a sickness. and on into shock. This slow reaction leads to far more severe, late stage conditions. I was able to recognize much faster than most, when things slipped, anticipating and looking for a slide. (not really rocket science…!) »
— Pr. Henri Francois Cuénoud, cardiologist, University of Massachusetts Medical School and UmassMemorial Medical Center (2008 personal communication) about teaching his hospital interns to see coming critical states, by watching for a drift, for very small signals and signs of loosing stability, not visible in the numbers or statistical ‘risk’ of disease.  Stages of Shock  http://cardiovascular-pathologist.com/

« Dr Bouchon is one of the most exceptional people I’ve ever worked with. Her laser-focused analysis of perceptions and paradigms, and her fascinating work on geometry and health, are of world standard. She makes new sense of ancient symbols to reconcile civilisation with nature and mind with body. Her pioneering field research, encouraging specialists to also experiment with her approach, is a vital, necessary wake up call to take action now. »
— Dr Alan D. Thompson. LifeArchitect.ai. Former chairman, Mensa International gifted families.

« I’ve been looking for what you give me for 25 years. I felt it, but I didn’t know how to explain it; you give me words, at last. It’s precious, I use it for the book I am writing, I’m passionate, and I hope that your work spreads. »
« Dr Marika Bouchon is a scientist who has very sharp and unconventional thinking, especially on intense reactivity which can affect reflexes and very subtle sensitivity. She helps me clarify the abstract structure of my knowledge regarding my method, and find a new way to develop my second book. »
— Marie-Claude Maisonneuve, founder of RSM Formations and the method  RSEM-Maisonneuve® (sensorimotor therapy for the child), author, speaker. France; translated.

« Marika’s research and expertise gave me fresh insights. When I first read about the ancient spiral and saw her drawings of topology, I felt moved. There is a visceral connection to what I am trying to visualize and put into action in the work I am doing for the education of children with LeafPixel.  It was further confirmed by speaking with her. She was way ahead of her time in how she educated her son without interfering, and it was a conversation that I will never forget. »
— Katie Ravich. Creative Education Consultant at LeafPixel, research student at SUNY International Center for Studies in Creativity.

Interview: « Here we are in the THPI world. There are many more men above 145 [IQ] than women. It’s complicated [for them], and obviously even more complicated for women. […] This is one aspect of the research that Marika Bouchon does in Australia, for example, they have an organic, physiological, kinesic approach, and they have a topologic interior universe, of abstractions. It’s a world that I love, beautiful, a silent world, it’s another world. »
— Fabrice Micheau, expert on highly intellectually gifted (THPI), executive consultant/coach, strategy, crisis management. France. Congrès de la Douance (online), 10 October 2020; translated excerpts.

Interview: « There are analogies between a THPI brain and a quantum brain. I have talked quite a bit about this with a friend, Marika, in Australia, and there is Roger Penrose, who won the Nobel Prize for mathematics last year; he is working on some of these dimensions. It is a topologic, geometric brain, it is abstract thought, a kind of complex organic system that you cannot isolate, cannot dismantle, otherwise it’s called an autopsy, with a kind of incommunicability, complicated to share; that is, you cannot explain the system in fragments. I call this a hologram. […] One of my clients was telling me, “What I have in my head is an Amazon platform.” [web service]. I liked that. It’s a cognitive model that is able to deal with seemingly opposed and contradictory things, which neurotypical people have a hard time doing.

[…] I have been doing crisis management for 25 years… It is about interacting with a brain that should not be constrained, you should not force it. This is a major element. A THPI is plugged into his/her body…. on the kinaesthetic, physiological, organic, visceral […] intuition, sensation […] at the level of information capture [physical sensor]. It’s all plugged into the topologic system. The body is the integrator, the concrete screed of the nuclear power plant [for grounding]. »

« Part 1 of your Taming the ‘Hyper-Sensitive’ Dragon video course is a very useful resource, offering welcome dissection of common difficulties for both practitioners and patients. In particular, the notion that our reactivity is a changeable experience is an exciting concept. I think many of my patients who suffer chronic pain would benefit from these thoughts on distinguishing their sensitivity – that which they are born with – from their reactions to things and level of reactivity – that which can be at least partly brought under control. »
— Dr Patrick Mudge, Osteopath, Queensland, Australia

« I just listened to your first ‘Dragon’ video. You bring very interesting precisions. When you mention psycho-linguistics, for example, I recognized myself completely in what you are saying. You have an extremely rich, unique background, and in general (your knowledge or more broadly your research work), I find it very rewarding to listen to and really interesting. »
— Anthony Gasquet, coach for the gifted, Nice, France
