HEALING THE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD.

March 1, 2025

How Childhood Trauma Shapes Us

 

Children rely on parents and caregivers to help them navigate the world. But when trust is broken, we unknowingly teach them that the world is unsafe and dangerous.

​

The Lasting Impact of Childhood Wounds

​

  • Our childhood experiences shape our beliefs, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors.

  • Unresolved wounds follow us into adulthood, affecting relationships, careers, and parenting.

  • Without awareness, we repeat these patterns with our own children—often without realizing it.​

​

Hidden Trauma & the Brain

​

  • Unresolved trauma prevents the brain from fully integrating, leading to emotional dysregulation.

  • A 50-year-old adult can still display childlike behaviors due to trauma-based responses.

  • Triggers activate stress chemicals, making it difficult to think rationally.

  • It can take hours to calm down—if another trigger doesn’t happen first.​
