Levels of Adversity

I suggested earlier that there are various levels of adversity, especially for children. Think of Adversity in Two Categories:

Adverse Interventions------Adverse Neglect

Verbal Disrespect ------------ Lack of Verbal Affirmation
Physical Disrespect ---------- Lack of Physical Care
Sexual Disrespect ------------ Lack of Appropriate Sexual Roles

Each of these can leave a person with confusion, mental anguish, emotional pain, dysfunctional habits, defense mechanisms, physical diseases, anti-social behavior, etc.

See our books for an overview of healing and growth through these issues. 

It is never too late to have a happy childhood.
