• I overreact to changes over which I have no control.

• I seek approval and affirmation.

• I usually feel that I am different from other people.

• I am super responsible or super irresponsible.

• I am extremely loyal even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved.

• I am impulsive. I tend to lock myself into a course of action without giving serious consideration to alternative behaviors or possible consequences. This impulsivity leads to confusion, self-loathing, and loss of control over my environment. In addition, I spend an excessive amount of energy cleaning up the mess that results.

(Woititz, 1983)

Adults from alcoholic and dysfunctional homes have the ability to be more psychic (Wright, 2007). Ring (1992) stated that paranormal/extrasensory experiences, especially Near-Death Experiences, were linked to a history of childhood trauma especially physical and sexual abuse.
