Childhood trauma discussion at Lifetree

LEWISTON — How to heal from childhood trauma will be discussed at Lifetree Cafe at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 29, 1919 Lisbon St.

The program is titled Overcoming Childhood Pain: Facing Unresolved Family Issues. It will feature a filmed interview with Delisa Mayer, a woman whose family took part in an ill-fated university study during her childhood.

The outcome of that study, which introduced a newborn chimpanzee into the family and asked them to raise it as a human child, shaped Mayer’s childhood and led to her parents’ divorce. Mayer said,“Our family was very torn up by this. It was a hard thing to live through, and it’s one of the reasons I don’t often tell this story.”

During the program, participants will discover key steps to help recover from the scars of past experiences.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. For more information, contact Travis Burleigh at 207-783-3316 or [email protected].
