A summary of the common effects of the psychological "wounds" (and unawareness) that stress most people, relationships, and families. The key meanings are (a) wounding your kids and probable divorce, and (2) significant stress, illness, and premature death. Self-study Lesson 1 in the nonprofit "Break the Cycle!" Web site gives more detail, and shows how to reduce these wounds. The Lesson-1 study guide is at http://sfhelp.org/gwc/guide1.htm
In my experience, "Normal" is psychologically-wounded and unaware. If you have any questions about "Lesson 1" (trauma assessment and wound-reduction). please ask. I cheer you on!

I thought I was fairly "normal" but it would appear that it might not be the case. I am studying to be a counselor mostly because most of my friends diagnosed with trauma disorders say I help them a lot and look up to me for advice. I have a BSc in Psychology as well so I understand the organic vs non-organic part. Guess I will be taking that free on-line seminar! Thank you very much for your contribution to the field. This ties up nicely with the attachment theory.
