All children are born to grow, to develop, to live, to love, and to articulate their needs and feelings for their self-protection

Child abuse is still sanctioned — indeed, held in high regard — in our society as long as it is defined as child-rearing. It is a tragic fact that parents beat their children in order to escape the emotions from how they were treated by their own parents.

One of the best ways of keeping your temper in an argument, as most of us know only too well, is not to listen to anything the other person has to say.

If we do not work on all three levels -- body, feeling, mind -- the symptoms of our distress will keep returning, as the body goes on repeating the story stored in its cells until it is finally listened to and understood.

We produce destructive people by the way we are treating them in childhood.

Emotional access to the truth is the indispensable precondition of healing.
