DISCLOSURE

A GAME CHANGER BOOK FOR ME.  Written for parents, lay professionals, and clinicians helping a child work through the process of grieving loss by guiding the child into accurate beliefs about the meaning of loss.  This book helped me to recognize (not avoid) expression of  healthy grief emotions and activate (not defeat) the purpose of each emotion for healthy adaptation to loss.  Magical thoughts derive from immature and inaccurate beliefs and conclusions about loss.  Magical thoughts often assign responsibility to self or someone for the loss and burden the child, the personality, into a realm of control (defense mechanisms) and emotional avoidance (personality disorders) that disrupt the development of self-calming skills and infect the heart and mind with a fear of abandonment.
