There are identifiable reasons why people exhibit destructive behavior, and in many cases, those reasons were caused by a loved one or other trusted people in their life. That damage buried deep within, if left undealt with, can destroy that person’s life as well those around them. Emotional healing is necessary and requires uncovering and properly processing them at root level. These can be intentional or unintentional contributors such as abandonment, a parent’s death, a divorce, an emotionally absent parent or parents, an alcoholic parent or parents, physical abuse, sexual abuse, religious abuse, bullying and many others. These wounds typically go unnoticed until they begin to surface as unhealthy behavior in their own life. They can manifest as, but not necessarily, the same type of behavior that was bestowed upon them.
