SHOW DESCRIPTION: In this podcast I talk to Jessica, a concerned parent, about childhood trauma. This is part of a series I am doing on questions you submitted for my new book on children’s mental health.
This was Jessica’s question:
“What happens to a child’s brain after they have survived Domestic Violence? How long does it take to reword their brain? Do they then have to fight wanting to use violence as an adult? Is it hereditary? My children and I are survivors of domestic violence and have been safe and free for 13 years. That being said, I’m wondering how long it takes for children (Now 15, 20, 24 and 26) to heal their brain?”
