I have dedicated my career to helping those who were abused in childhood or as an adult. As a survivor of child sexual abuse and emotional abuse myself, I have a great deal of respect and compassion for victims of abuse, especially the difficulties they have due to debilitating shame—what I consider to be the most damaging effect of abuse. I am so dedicated to helping former victims heal their shame that I created this website solely for this purpose.
Mükemmeliyetçi ebeveynler çocukları, ebeveynlerinden cesaret ve destek almak yerine, yalnızca eleştiri ve talep alırlar. Bazen de alay konusu olurlar. Sonuç olarak, genelikle kendilerini yetersiz, aciz, becereksiz, veya yersiz hissederek büyürler.
