Dear Mrs Miller,<\/p>\n
I have just read your book “The body never lies” and I loved it like all your work. I Have a question about a statement you made (on page 155 in the English edition) in the chapter The Right to Awareness.
\nYou say: “Of course people who were never beaten in childhood, who were never subjected to sexual abuse, do not need this work.”
\nI am convinced that you think that more subtle cases of mistreatments exist and have also an effect (like in the fictional case of Anita Frank) and so I was puzzled by this sentence which reinforces the general idea that it is better to leave old demons alone unless one has been subjected to extreme violence in childhood.
\nI find that the most difficult part of the process is to figure out damaging parental behaviors when they are not as obvious as beating or sexual abuse. I find your writings are usually unique in pointing out the abuse in behaviors which are generally accepted by society (or at least go unnoticed), and so I was very surprised by the quoted sentence…<\/p>\n
Best regards, C. H.<\/p>\n
AM: You are right, perhaps it should be “maybe” instead of “of course”, but actually the sentence was meant a bit ironically.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
