This blog is about learning to understand all of our feelings and learning to consciously face, feel and experience all of our feelings within the context of our own childhood. Everything we become and happens to us is connected to childhood. Not every victim becomes an abuser, but every abuser was once a victim of abuse, these are facts, Violence is not genetic, it’s learned. https://sylvieshene.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-dance-to-freedom-book-reviews.html

The body never lies, It sticks to the facts.
“Inability to face up to the suffering undergone in
childhood can be observed both in the form of religious obedience and in
cynicism, irony, and other forms of self-alienation frequently masquerading as
philosophy or literature. But ultimately
the body will rebel. Even if it can be temporarily pacified with the help of
drugs, nicotine, or medicine, it usually has the last word, because it is
quicker to see through self-deception than the mind, particularly if the mind has
been trained to function as an alienated self. 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.” From the book the “The Body Never Lies: The Lingering Effects ofHurtful parenting” by Alice Miller
