What Is Childhood Trauma?
Childhood trauma refers to an experience you had
as a young child that made you feel completely
helpless and unable to rely on the outside world
or other people to keep you safe. The unfortunate
result of many childhood traumas impacts how you
think and relate to the world and others as an
adult. This may indicate that you occasionally
experience life as complex and challenging in
some ways. Misconceptions that childhood trauma
only involves physical danger or harm must be
dispelled as it also involves mental harm
too. Trauma is anything that makes a child feel
helpless, exposed, overpowered, or terrified.
Psychological trauma develops due to your unique
experience and perspective of what happened to
you, not because of the facts of what
happened.
