Effects of Child Abuse

The Effects of Child Abuse are deep and destructive. Child abuse ingrains emotional scars in a person’s soul and robs their ability to thrive. Being abused as a child creates an adult with little to no self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence and self-love. Child abuse destroys a life and creates a vicious dysfunctional cycle of adult self-abuse and self-sabotaging emotional behavior ranging from, anxiety, guilt, depression, anger, isolation and addictions. It creates dysfunctional, debilitating inter and intra-personal relationships. The effect of child abuse is death to the trusting innocence inside that creates hope and belief in the spirit of individual life.

The death of an individual spirit creates a cycle of abusive emotional behavior. The effects of child abuse are the creation of unconscious thoughts and beliefs that maintain a negative self-image. The fear and guilt created by child abuse lead to personal self-destructive emotional behavior. Child abuse implants the heart thought that you are not worthy to thrive. It develops into emotional behavior of destructive life patterns and dysfunctional relationships. The external abuse turns into the unconscious internal belief of a child that they are a faulty person and to blame for the abuse. The effects of child-abuse will turn into self-abusing thought and behavior patterns that will last a lifetime if not confronted and changed.

Changing the effects of child abuse is critical to develop a healthy fulfilling life. This is the birthright of every individual. Your inner child holds onto the fear, judgment and conditional love as a protection from a past trauma that is not present but recreated in daily perception. The victims of child abuse need to make a daily effort through positive affirmations to challenge negative thoughts and behaviors that were internalized and are played out in destructive life choices.
