Problems Cannot Be Solved With Words, But

We Produce Destructive People By The Way We Are Treating Them In Childhood.

The Truth About Childhood, As Many Of Us Have Had To Endure It, Is Inconceivable, Scandalous, Painful. Not Uncommonly, It Is Monstrous. Invariably, It Is Repressed. To Be Confronted With This Truth All At Once And To Try To Integrate It Into Our Consciousness, However Ardently We May Wish It, Is Clearly Impossible.

Ultimately The Body Will Rebel. Even If It Can Be Temporarily Pacified With The Help Of Drugs, Cigarettes Or Medicine, It Usually Has The Last Word Because It Is Quicker To See Through Self-deception Than The Mind. We May Ignore Or Deride The Messages Of The Body, But Its Rebellion Demands To Be Heeded Because Its Language Is The Authentic Expression Of Our True Selves And Of The Strength Of Our Vitality.

The Victimization Of Children Is Nowhere Forbidden; What Is Forbidden Is To Write About It.

Experience Has Taught Us That We Have Only One Enduring Weapon In Our Struggle Against Mental Illness: The Emotional Discovery And Emotional Acceptance Of The Truth In The Individual And Unique History Of Our Childhood.
