Violent behavior can result from early childhood trauma.
Because of unprocessed trauma, a lot of toxic stress remains in children and adolescents and they are triggered very quickly. Those old, unhealed injuries cause anxiety and aggression.
The testimonies in this episode are explained and framed by Nicole Vliegen (professor of clinical psychology, specializing in adoption), Doris D'Hooghe (psychotraumatologist) and Jenneke Christiaens (professor of criminology), among others.
