Think of childhood trauma like an earthquake. Earthquakes have the potential to cause all kinds of damage. However, sometimes, large aftershocks can cause more damage and loss of life than the original quake itself. The same dynamic exists with childhood trauma.
Suicide Death of My Son
I suffered years of abuse as a child and understands first hand the long term effects of childhood trauma. Unfortunately, I didn’t understand the effects until I had to deal with it again with the loss of my son. Trepierre also experienced years of childhood abuse and as a result of this untreated trauma, lost his life in a suicide by cop - in which an officer, unfortunately, lost his life as well. I have dedicated my life to making sure that the world is aware of the devastation that untreated childhood trauma can have - and how early intervention can fix the issues that this epidemic is plaguing society with today.
