Poverty, poor nutrition, parental stress and child abuse are among the early life experiences that can become biologically imprinted in children, in part by turning genes “on” or “off,” a process referred to as epigenetics. Epigenetic changes associated with these experiences can last all the way into adulthood and may be linked to chronic health conditions later in life.

This might explain why some behaviours/issues are so hard to shake. Having said that, “Inner Child” work seems to be quite helpful in coping with long standing emotional hurdles. Just sayin’ :) Hugs, XO
