Where are the boundaries of empathy in therapy of abused children?

Through secure attachment and parental empathic responsiveness children learn how to dampen or intensify emotions in order to satisfy their emotional and developmental needs. Physical, sexual and emotional abuse represents traumatic empathic failure which leaves lifelong outcomes on child development. These children feel fear, shame, sadness and anger that are overwhelming for them. In order to mange painful feelings they inhibit or suppress their emotions. Inhibition of emotions leads to boundaries of emotional experiences so they have difficulties in recognizing and expressing emotions which may lead to psychosomatic diseases, depression, social anxiety and difficulties in impulse control.
