Those four words “not normal but typical” are extremely important to someone who has endured such a childhood. Their “normal” produces a dis-regulated trauma led response to life events which can, and usually does, result in further trauma. To hear, and absorb, that these responses are typical, is affirmation that the person is not broken.
