The common themes of the research on which this work is based are the origins of the loss of the self and the ways of self-discovery. The drama of a gifted, i.e. sensitive, awakened child is that he or she senses the needs of his or her parents at an early age and adapts to them, learning to avoid feeling his or her strongest, «unwanted» feelings. Although these unwanted feelings may not always be avoided later on, they remain separated, and thus the most important part of the true self is not integrated into the personality. This leads to emotional insecurity and loss of self, which causes depression or is reflected in giftedness. These examples illustrate the unspoken suffering of the child, hidden behind idealisations, as well as the tragedy of parents who were once children themselves.
