Jungian Reflection

"The dread and resistance which every natural human being experiences when it comes to delving too deeply into him/herself is, at bottom, the fear of the journey to Hades. In actual fact, however, the psychic substratum, that dark realm of the unknown, exercises a fascinating attraction that threatens to become the more overpowering the further he penetrates into it. The psychological danger that arises here is the disintegration of personality into its functional component, i.e., the separate functions of consciousness, the complexes, heriditary units, etc."

C.G. Jung, CW 12, Psychology and Alchemy. ¶ 439.

The unrecognized epidemic:

Do you work with children❓

Do you know about childhood trauma ❓

Do you know about the Impact of childhood trauma❓

Childhood trauma is strongly linked to mental and physical health problems over the lifespan. 😳

It negatively impacts brain development, 🧠cognitive development,
learning,
social-emotional development,
the ability to develop secure attachments to others, and physical health; 😳😮

it is also associated with a shortened lifespan❗️❗️

A considerable body of research demonstrates that children suffer the most severe, long-lasting, and harmful effects when trauma exposure begins early in life, takes multiple forms, is severe and pervasive, and involves harm by a parent !! 😮

Children and youth with trauma may re-experience the trauma through intrusive memories, nightmares, and flashbacks;
avoid situations or people that remind them of the trauma;
and feel intense anxiety that disrupts their everyday lives❗️

In addition, they may engage in aggressive, self-destructive, or reckless behaviour ; 😳
have trouble sleeping;
or remain in a state of hypervigilance, an exaggerated state of awareness and reactivity to their environments.
