We do not have to have experienced physical trauma to be left with an overwhelming sense of shame, worthlessness or powerlessness over our own lives. I see over and over those who were not physically violated or who did not experience severe physical violation think that because of this their mental health issues must mean that something is just wrong with them. It is not the degree of maltreatment that causes suffering but the invisible psychological and emotional neglect and abuse that is that causes the most damage to the developing psyche of a child and the most long lasting devastation.
