If you've gone through a traumatic experience,
you may be struggling with upsetting emotions, frightening memories, or a sense
of constant danger. Experiencing trauma in childhood can have a severe and
long-lasting effect. Children who have been traumatized see the world as a
frightening and dangerous place. When childhood trauma is not resolved, this
fundamental sense of fear and helplessness carries over into adulthood, setting
the stage for further trauma.
Childhood trauma results from anything that disrupts a child's sense of safety and security, including:
- An unsafe environment
- Separation from a parent
- Serious illness
- Intrusive medical procedures
