What Makes This Make Sense?
BY DR. ADRIAN HICKMON
After decades walking alongside families in their darkest seasons, Hickmon has learned that the behaviors that frighten us most are almost never the whole story. More often, they are survival strategies born in the dark caves of trauma, disconnection, and unspoken pain. His Core-Systems Model invites you past the labels and quick fixes and toward a single, life-changing question: What makes this make sense?
