Pretty interesting article. If this spoke to you, I recommend reading "The drama of the gifted child" by Alice Miller.

Don't be put off by the title, it's a wonderful read no matter if you think you're gifted or not.

Counter point:

I read that book this year.

It definitely contributed towards resolving some unresolved childhood trauma, and I'm grateful for it, but it was no walk in the park.

Why is that a counter point?
The parent was sharing the book as a wonderful read and that you shouldn't be concerned about the title.

My counter point was that while I enjoyed the book's results, the read/process was the polar opposite of wonderful.

I felt my anecdata might be helpful to those who might pick up the book.
