    There are several different kinds of childhood abuse and I will be doing an episode on each type. I give a quick rundown of the different types of childhood abuse, then get into the theme for this episode which is PHYSICAL ABUSE. We'll look at what physical abuse is, signs, symptoms and red flags which might indicate physical abuse is taking place. We'll look at the effects the abuse can have on the child and into adulthood. I'll discuss treatment options. Finally, at the end of the episode I share my own personal history of childhood physical abuse - how it affected me as a child and as an adult.
