Recovering From Childhood Trauma
Part 2: Breaking The Chains of The Past



       " One does not become enlightened
        by imagining figures of light,
        but by making the darkness conscious "
                                                                                                     Carl Jung


Recent scientific research has advanced our understanding about the ways that childhood trauma impacts on the growing brain's development and sculpts it in order to facilitate the survival of the individual.

Longer term these solutions and adaptations become problems in themselves and unless the survivor is able to overcome this early life programming, it is unlikely that they will succeed in forming healthy intimate relationships, either with themselves, other people or the wider world.

Recovery is coming out of the 'Dark Ages'
