@Vee, like Freida, I think this is an important topic, thanks for bringing it up. I am going to forgive my inner child because alot my damage came to me a child. I am striving to overcome, sometimes I slip, but generally I am doing pretty d*mn good. These are some of the things I am dealing with:
PTSD
CPTSD (see Anthony's really great article)
IED (Intermittant Explosive Disorder)
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
CTD (Childhood Trauma Disorder)
ECT (Early Childhood Trauma - six and under)
Traumatic Brain Injury (Psych consquences)
Depression & Suicide (don't worry all is well)
Some causes:
In active combat zones
Confinement under threat of immediate death
Witness to atrocities (Genocide)
Witness to executions
Abandonment by mother
Wounded victim of terrorism
Eight concussions (loss consciousness)
Refugee
Weapons held on me repeatedly by
foreign soldiers
Revolution, war
Serious car accidents
In immediate proximity to mass murder
Repeated civil decay/unrest
:D
