Mark H.'s Path to Healing: Overcoming PTSD and Childhood Trauma
“These little pieces break off every time there's a trauma or an abuse. The little piece breaks off and that little boy takes that little piece and wraps it in a cocoon and hides it and protects me from it so that I don't have to feel what I would feel, because what happened to me was pretty horrific.”
Imagine growing up in a home where alcoholism and dysfunction are the norms.
