Acryl work on Canvas.

A confrontation with the unknown. Kids from traumatizing life experiences are extremely fearful of unpredictable situations, happiness can also be part of it. Getting involved in the uncertain requires extreme courage and a lot of strength. It also happens, however, that the previous stress again represents a retraumatisation or the child freezes and prefers to defend himself instead of dealing with the new and unknown. When the fear becomes too great, things like this happen. It would rather remain trapped in the negative, destructive. They know their way around here and believe they can do anything. It accepts the destructive, harmful structure because the other is so uncertain and unknown and the fear seems excessive. Only the child knows which way it takes. We can only prepare the way and make it palatable, remove stumbling blocks from the way.
