Trauma in childhood can cause a variety of physical and emotional problems for children and adults, creating a need for intervention. Jane Middleton-Moz [sic], a relationship and trauma expert featured in this program, states that children who experience domestic violence grow up learning to stuff feelings and emotions. They go through a world in deep freeze, and have whole parts of themselves cut off. In domestic violence, if a partner wasn't allowed their vulnerability as a child, then as an adult, if that vulnerability is touched, they will act out their anger for them.--Publisher's catalog.
