Healing traumatic wounds from childhood

We are just beginning to understand that psychological trauma from emotional, physical and sexual abuse in childhood is epidemic in our society. We know the extent of the problem, and that trauma is trauma, no matter how it happens. For example, a child living in an anger-filled or incestuous home may have all the signs and symptoms of the traumatized Vietnam veteran. We know too that the cause of the lasting distress may be largely physical, resulting from permanently altered neurology and biochemisty.
