CAN TOXIC FAMILY DYNAMICS CREATE NATURAL EVIL? BORN OR MADE?
222A toxic family dynamic can cause you to think a lot of things about your family. \n\nAlthough your thoughts about your family may not be true or hold any "scientific" basis, that doesn't mean you are wrong about who they are. \n\nIf you feel like you have come from a very dysfunctional and toxic family, I'm sure you have asked yourself if certain family members are BIOLOGICALLY and INHERENTLY evil.\n\nThis kind of evil almost seems like a biological and generational curse or pattern of behaviors that therapy alone can't treat.\n\nIt isn't far-fetched to ask the question if evil can be biological or based on someone's genetic code.\n\nIn this live chat, I discuss the "biology" of evil in a toxic family dynamic.\n--------------------------------------------------\n#trauma #tamarahilllpc #toxicfamily
