We brought our children into our family when they were 5 months old. The years between 9 and 14 were absolute torture for us all. We had police involvement, physical violence, so many many things. There were very few resources available and no internet resources! We did learn little snippets from different mental health professionals, but, especially for our son, I just came to understand what I could do to calm him. We spent a lot of time with him on my lap, me holding him tightly as he struggled to sort things out in his mind. Our children are 19 and 21 now and they are our pride and joy. I am so thankful for them and I just want to say hang in there. I wish I knew about Karen Purvis 15 years ago!

Love this article on trauma. Such an important topic! Another amazing book on the topic is Peter Levine’s Trauma Through a Child’s Eyes. I’m convinced that most adult emotional distress, chronic disease and pain can be traced back to unresolved trauma. So important for parents to understand what trauma is, how it happens and what we can do to help our kids navigate traumatic experiences. Thanks so much for all this wonderful information 🙂
