Powerless Feelings and Self-Hate
Dec 26, 2024
Dear Parents,
What the heck is Complex Developmental Trauma anyway?
That is what most of our kids are experiencing— attachment trauma and maltreatment trauma that interrupts basic emotional development and causes chronic hyper-vigilance and dependence on survival strategies. The strategies are varied and overlapping, but are designed to deal with the stressors of life.
Unfortunately, one of the primary ways our kids learn to cope is by internalizing the angry, powerlessness they felt as children and turning it against themselves or you. You may have noticed a flipping back and forth between the all-bad self and the all-bad other. That is what I am talking about. These split-off parts are destructive to the fabric of their identity and can cause a life trajectory change for the worse.
Don't wait to become a therapeutic parent. The earlier the better.
Love Matters,
