Vinny Ferraro - Practice and the Undefended Heart

[@greentree5448]

"When has withholding love ever changed anyone's behavior?" When a traumatized child behaves in any way she feels will keep her safe in an abusive home. It's why we maintain the strategy into adulthood - even when it no longer works, even when it hurts - because it worked so well during that critical development period as children.
