Effects of CM
"physical and sexual abuse were related to lower IQ and intellectual development delays... (Edalati,3)"
"Clinical studies in children have confirmed that CM is associated with impairment in cognitive functions such as intellectual and academic performance, memory, attention and executive function. (Edalati,4)"
"The stress sensitization theory hypothesizes that the experience of childhood trauma may attribute to the altered stress perception and physiological responding and health behaviors." (Childhood trauma and college students)
-
"Childhood sexual abuse uniquely predicted alcohol misuse and alcohol related black outs which increased ricked for revictimization. (Childhood trauma and college students)
"A mechanism that way uniquely contribute to the relationship between childhood sexual abuse and alcohol-related experiences is dissociative states or the desire to dissociate. (Childhood trauma and college students)
"Childhood trauma related to other substance use include nicotine & illicit drug use. (Childhood trauma and college students)"
Attachment styles; Anxious, Avoidant, Disorganized (Zobolas)
"It might be that CM affects the general ability to process emotional experiences by narrating them. (How does child maltreatment affects how we share our story)"
Archetypes; Abandoned child, People pleaser, Inner critic, Perfectionist, Victimization, Enraged, Detached child
COUNTER CLAIM
6% reported recovered memories of child abuse that they were unaware of before therapy. (Dodier,2)
People go through phases where they cannot remember the (abuse, neglect, assault) most likely as a trauma response of the brain. However, it is hard to identify when a person has these memories back because memories can emerge randomly.
90% reported having memories they had not known before outside of therapy (Dodier)
Counter claim argument being, if people have memories of child maltreatment outside of therapy why is such a big part of the therapy finding these memories
They have to spend time addressing the memories to figure how how the person reacts to them. once you know the reaction you can better find out the best way to handle the memory
THERAPY
Part of the healing process in therapy is addressing the inner child. "Inner child refers to the child the patient once was and with whom the patient might to some extent have lost touch with on the way to adulthood." (Hesbech)
