Childhood Trauma

(This one may sound political but there is a deep psychological issue involved.) Ben Carson is a dangerous person.Although Donald Trump is a narcissist no doubt Ben Carson has paranoid tendencies and that is much worse for a political leader.His complaints about gotcha questions are seriously distorted.Journalists ask gotcha questions to everyone- not just to Ben Carson or Republicans.That’s what they do and I don’t like it either.But it’s not personal to him..As a therapist I can tell you that childhood trauma never goes away completely no matter how serious our spiritual and psychological work.The best we can do is remain conscious of its effects on our thinking and behavior.
