10. Addressing Early Childhood Trauma

Today, we will talk about Early Childhood Trauma! We will start by thinking about our family dynamics and seeing how that has impacted us throughout our lives. We want you to remember that your parent's actions had nothing to do with you but everything to do with what they were going through at the time. They more than likely did the best they can with what they knew to be true at that time. Ongoing therapy and self help CAN help us overcome any childhood trauma we experienced.
What causes childhood trauma?

neglect
loss of a parent
serious childhood illness
abuse
a learning disability
emotionally unavailable or anxious parents
if your parents had their own unresolved childhood trauma

Some symptoms that unhealed childhood trauma can cause: depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, anxiety and chronic worry, relationship fears, low self esteem, people pleasing, social anxiety and frustration

"Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed by the past and that is okay. Any progress is better than trying too hard to reach perfection."
