Often, we hear the statement “The experience occurred when the person involved was really young, they must not even remember it any longer”.
However, interactions with adverse childhood experiences can shake a child’s sense of stability, security and bonding. The impact of trauma occurring in childhood can slide into our adult life and may even last a lifetime if we dont work to understand the root cause of it.
Often, when we are unable to understand a way out of it, we keep running on the hamster wheel that pulls us deeper into a spiral of negative mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
Childhood trauma comes in many forms
1. Rejection
2. Abandonment
3. Injustice
4. Betrayal
Yes, uncovering all that trauma is hard and scary. It does end up being messy at times too, but putting it off is like sitting on a volcano that can erupt anytime the pressure builds up too much or it interacts with a wrong trigger.
You don’t have to navigate the challenges of childhood trauma alone - it is okay to seek help. We can do the work together to find the right tools and resources that aims to build your path to a fulfilled and happier life.
As a counsellor who works with clients dealing with trauma and its associated emotional difficulties, I realize the importance of finding a safe place to walk on this journey. Let me provide that place for you at Refreshed Emotions Therapy!
