Summary

When a child without a fully developed language experiences physical and psychological stress that exceeds the child's capacity to cope, the experience can leave lasting marks, unless the child receives treatment. The most important messages are, "Never allow the child's pain to be forgotten," and "Everything that is left unsaid ties up energy."
