A final note about "The Legacy of Childhood Trauma"

Not all young people who grow up in violent or highly conflicted households exhibit these behaviors. By changing home environments, most of them are able to adapt themselves to a healthier way of relating to others and to reasonably fulfilling their expectations. Those who receive appropriate guidance can develop a healthier outlook on life. Unhealthy lessons learned in childhood can be replaced by healthier ways of solving conflicts—and, in turn, these new behavioral tools can prevent the recurrence of old traumas.
