About This Book

Alice Miller explores the hidden pain of children who adapt to parental expectations, sacrificing their true selves for love and approval. Gifted or sensitive children often become caretakers of their parents’ emotional needs, suppressing their own feelings. This psychological insight reveals how unresolved childhood trauma can shadow adulthood, leading to self-deception, emotional numbness, and the struggle to reclaim authenticity and genuine emotional freedom later in life.
