"Heather Nardi's daughter was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and spent years in traditional treatment. But she wasn't getting better. Knowing there had to be another way, what Heather discovered was life-altering: her child's symptoms, unsuccessfully treated as a disorder, were--in fact--traits of of an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP). Now a speaker and life coach known as ‘The Empath Mama,’ Heather Nardi is a fierce advocate for other families shifting the story from ‘disorder’ to ‘trait’… Heather introduces HSP characteristics and offers advice for parenting a sensitive child, like coping skills, how to be an advocate, holistic health pathways, and how understanding and acceptance can heal the past and present." -- Back cover.
