Sticks and Stones - An Expert Point of View

A few months ago, I shared an article about how I grew up with many nicknames. Most of which brought about infinite misery to my life. Personally, I felt that names contributed to my low self-esteem and very meek personality. Thankfully, I was able to overcome them. However, I then thought it would be interesting to dissect my article with a professional in order to get an expert point of view. I must say, the findings were staggering, not only for me, but it has helped me understand my own children and their personalities from a whole other perspective.
