As the eldest daughter and a gifted child drifting between depression and grandiosity, this book helped me put names to some patterns I had been blindly following. Once you identify a problem and label it, you gain a clearer picture of what you are dealing with. The rest may not be a piece of cake, but resolving a defined and visible problem is far easier than fighting with shadows.
Unresolved childhood traumas run the world. They shape the core of our personalities, our survival mechanisms, and our reactions to life’s events. No one deserves to be hurt or wounded, but it is our responsibility to grow beyond our trauma and heal from it, because the cycle must be broken and not passed on to the next generation. Yes, it is deeply unfair to carry the burden of wounds we did not cause in the first place, but life has never promised us justice.
If you are the “gifted child” everyone assumes has a perfect life, so they leave you to your own fate, yet you still wonder, I have everything but why don’t I feel grateful? What is this emptiness? If you carry a constant guilt no matter how “perfect” you are, and if no achievement of yours has ever brought more than a fleeting sense of relief, this book may resonate deeply with you.
If you seek insight, I strongly recommend The Drama of the Gifted Child.
