As a therapist, I had the opportunity to work with several adopted children whose original home had been a traumatic environment. In two cases, the parents were upset their child remembered abuse and just wanted her to stop her acting out behaviors. I felt awful for her. A young boy had supportive caretakers and they followed advice for acknowledging the boy's fear and providing reassurance. I'm surprised people who adopt children from known abusive homes are not coached more about dissociation (a forbidden topic in most of society), let alone an unknown childhood which may very well have been highly traumatic.</p> <p>My blog is focused solely on understanding dissociation from childhood to adults from a background of long-term childhood abuse.
