The trauma of spanking.  Bodily autonomy.

I Am Anxious All The Time! How Can I Minimise My Anxiety? is available now on the HEAL blog  https://howmyparentsraisedme.com/blog-childhood-trauma/

Bodily autonomy simply means my body is for me; my body is my own. It’s not something most of us were ever educated about as kids.  Tom grew up in an evangelical christian family who believed, as many within the church and also outside of the church do, that parenting includes spanking children. Spanking has been accepted as the only kind of discipline that will produce godliness and "well-trained" children.  For Tom Spanking completely overwhelmed his nervous system and along with the fear and pain, there came arousal. It was the most horrible mixture of shame, pain, fear and confusion.
