The only problem with that article is that it suggests Christian approach as a main instrument of healing which might not be a a preferred method for everybody.

ellexa, i just wanted to say that i am finding this article
recovery from childhood trauma really helpful. thanks so much for posting it! i like how it speaks about and describes a wounded child self, a judgmental self, and a compassionate/observing self. then, it goes on to say:

According to this model, the processes we go through in recovery from childhood trauma include (1) developing awareness of our internal states, (2) taking ownership of our experiences and of our internal states and (3) integrating our internal states so that we can experience wholeness.

i'm still reading the sections on how we do all this which is a more circular than linear process.
fyi: the first half of the article where she describes the 3 selves doesn't talk about God so that might be helpful to those who don't feel comfortable with the spiritual stuff.
