Do you often wonder about the root causes of unhealthy behaviors and sometimes question why persons react differently to the same root causations? 

Have you shifted and changed your attitudes and behaviors over the years – sometimes negatively?

In this set of two videos. the origins of behaviors and the various reactions are described.

Issues addressed:

• In ROOTS, an explanation is given regarding the definition of Trauma and of Abuse and the distinction between them; also, the definition and difference relating to Deprivation and Neglect.
• The resulting emotions are evaluated showing the consequential verdict of “I am defective; something is wrong with me; I am bad.”
• The I AM BAD diagram illustrates various responses to this internal, often unconscious, judgement.
• Some persons exhibit destructive behaviors with addictions, depression, and obvious emotional problems,
• Others use natural talents, become dependable workers, leaders, professionals and look quite successful. However, the persons who look “good” on the outside do not escape the consequences of their internal negative condemnation.  They often have negative physical health issues and/or swing into arenas of addictions and other destructive behaviors.

Other options for responses to the I am Bad verdict are also presented.
