LEGACY OF EMOTIONAL CONFLICT

Where does a child, whose instincts have been destroyed, learn to become a loving parent and sane, trusting human being, who feels equal and worthy in life? How does she erase the past and begin anew? Counseling retrains the brain, yet instinct dominates the thought process depending on the emotions current in any given moment.

Child abuse is a lifetime struggle from within as well as out. It second-guesses every aspect of life. When things feel right, joyful and just, the abused soul is the most fearful and ready to deny and reject. True freedom and peace may be desired desperately, but is rejected for what is familiar, what was the "normal" and the "expected" from life in the soul of the abused.
