Beyond the Labels: "Creatively Gifted"... a Mother's Story

BEYOND THE LABELS walks the reader through the symptoms & conditions known as "Gifted", "Panic Disorder", "Chronic Fatigue" & other differences, (often referred to as "hidden disabilities"), as they occur in a real-life setting. It tells the story of two parents, each with their own "differences", raising their two children, (a male & female, both labeled as "Gifted"), to adulthood. With a combined knowledge of anatomy, physiology, & the emotional complexities of the human heart, the mother, a professional nurse & counselor (with memberships in the International Honor Society of Nursing & the American Holistic Nurses' Association), tells the story. She describes the inhumane, degrading "treatments" that were imposed by unknowing professionals..."treatments" which badly fragmented the family unit. The story illustrates the many obstacles present in our society which can deter or even halt the actualization of our inherent potential. Family members triumphed, however. The young woman, is now a Summa Cum Laude graduate, a creative teacher, & already published in her field. The mother (spirit renewed), recently won two Gold Medals in the inaugural event of the International Senior Games (1996). (The data & research inherent in the story has been affirmed by professionals recognized in their fields). To order: Karma Publishing, P.O.
