Continued mental abuse can cause energetic trauma, which may manifest as a physical illness. Did you know that negative self-esteem and self-talk are also types of mental abuse?
I have witnessed depression turn into serious illness. This illness leads to further withdrawal, and a deeper depression. In some individuals, this cycle continues to the point that the downward spiral is so steep that the client does not know who they are anymore. The illness has become their identity.
I have observed people with a serious prognosis, completely change their way of life and thoughts, and subsequently go into remission. The power of belief is that which causes what we call miracles.
I have seen those that experience something bad and blame it on everyone else but themselves. They will not acknowledge the need to grow and change. When you cannot accept the fact that these tragic events are a huge opportunity for transformation or you constantly send out hate towards others; it will destroy your well being and tear you up inside.
Others believe that they are cursed, while continuing to call bad energies to themselves, because they cannot release that belief. Whether or not they were cursed to begin with, their strong belief and fear of the curse, is what continually calls negative energies to come to them. Imagine if these individuals released such beliefs and called positive energies into their life instead.
