Welcome to Fireside Adoptees' first video as part of our new Wellness Series
Part 1: Adoption is Trauma with Kimberly Weeks
According to Laurel Parnell, developer of Attachment-Focused EMDR, “A trauma is an experience that causes one to develop erroneous beliefs about oneself and the world and to behave in ways that are not skillful.”
The Primal Wound Theory suggests that severing the connection between the infant and biological mother through adoption causes a primal wound which often manifests in a sense of loss, basic mistrust, emotional and/or behavioral problems, and difficulties in relationships with significant others, which affects adoptees sense of self, self-esteem, and self-worth throughout life.
The term “being in the fog” is often used to describe the way adoptees feel, think, operate, and relate before they come out of the denial, conditioning, and ignorance that distorts the impacts of adoption and relinquishment trauma.
The first psycho-educational presentation will focus on the trauma of adoption, the primal wound, and coming out of the fog to find healing.
