My client always felt isolated, unloved and abnormal, and being extremely sensitive and empathetic internalized his father's harsh temperament toward him as, "I'm not deserving of love and something is wrong with me." When doing healing work with him, it was apparent that from the age of 4 he was consciously aware that his father was indifferent toward him. This created an uncertainty, which lead to low self-esteem and trust issues that he carried into every experience and relationship he has had.
