Recovery from Childhood Abuse

Symptoms in adult life: depression, anger, taking excessive risks, sexual compulsions, alcohol dependence, drug dependence, failure to succeed in school or work, or an inability to establish healthy long term relationships.

All of these can all be caused by verbal, physical, mental, or sexual abuse in childhood.  If anyone in the family in which you grew up was addicted to alcohol or other drugs, or if there were serious anger issues, you grew up in an abusive environment. 

One kind of abuse that is often overlooked is neglect. This is may occur when a child is unwanted or unplanned and is considered a burden on the family.  The needs of the child are placed as the last priority in family plans and finances.  Often neglect is subtle but becomes more and more obvious when your childhood is discussed with a trained therapist.

      Typical comments from parents who have neglected their child sound like this:

        "If you had not been born our lives would be so much better!  I could have gone to college and we would be better off." 

       "We don't have the money to buy your clothes. We spent it all on the other children."

       "Dinner, oh we forgot about you. We ate out. See if there are any left-overs in the refrigerator."

The symptoms caused by childhood abuse are particularly well suited to being healed using recently discovered methods of treatment.

Neuro Linguistic Programming is the science dedicated to understanding the conscious and unconscious programming we all have.  Once we are understand how a person has been programmed, then we can help them to change that programming so they  respond differently. 

Emotional Freedom Techniques are  used to reduce the pain caused by past events.  It is especially useful in quickly reducing the pain from childhood and adult abuse. 

We have a great deal of experience in helping people recover from childhood abuse, enabling them to be more at peace with themselves and find success in relationships, family life and their work.

Feel free to call us at 303-369-8877 to discuss your concerns. There is no charge for a fifteen minute initial evaluation discussion on the phone.
