Not All Parents Love Their Children lecture transcript

[Guest guest]

Here's the link to the website of The Centre for Abuse and Trauma Therapy (a

Canadian organization), and at the bottom of the page is a link to a PDF file

which is the transcript of a lecture given by Seonida s, M.Sc.Psych,

entitled " Not All Parents Love Their Children " . (Note: parts of the

transcription contains missing words or bad grammar, but the idea still gets

across.)

She speaks of what trauma bonding is, and how children who developed a trauma

bond manifest that damage in adulthood.

Surprise, surprise: Most of the symptoms and emotional injuries and behaviors

we here at this group evidence and are dealing with are listed as being the

results of trauma bonding due to parental abuse.

Even though many of the examples s cites were examples of extremely severe

criminal child abuse she points out that less inhuman but sub-standard parenting

still results in trauma bonding when its chronic.

My own theory is that the traits and behaviors of bpd pretty much guarantee that

the children of undiagnosed, untreated bpd parents will wind up damaged with

things like trauma-bonding.
