Reply #45: Dr. Newton says that the destructive impulses of emotional disorders...

[I Have A Dream]

if left untreated, inhibit soul development, and that those of us who have experienced unresolved personal trauma in our lives carry the seeds of our own destruction. (pg. 47)

I wonder if this means that unless we resolve these issues, we're going to have to deal with them in later lives. I always knew that relationship issues would be carried over into later lives, but I never really thought about not dealing with traumatic events.

For example, if a woman is raped and never deals with the emotional issues that are inevitable, what does that mean to her soul's growth as well as future lives?
