“Do I Have Childhood Trauma?”

Good to Know!

Childhood trauma is a threatening, violent, or distressing event experienced from the child’s birth to the age of 18. Some children recover from trauma with the support and correct guidance from their caregivers. Sometimes, however, the traumatic memories linger into adulthood and continue to affect daily life, emotions, and relationships, awaiting healthy resolution.

FAQ

The symptoms depend on various factors such as the severity of the traumatic experience and the amount of support from caregivers. Usually, childhood trauma signs include a high level of anxiety, trust issues, emotional numbness, low self-esteem, mood swings, and difficulty forming healthy romantic and interpersonal relationships.

2. What’s the difference between PTSD and childhood trauma?

Childhood trauma is the experience itself, while PTSD is a mental health condition that may develop from it and cause flashbacks, panic attacks, depression, and emotional distress.

3. What is a childhood trauma test?

It’s a questionnaire that can take various forms, e.g., there are childhood trauma tests with pictures, an Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) quiz, a Childhood Trauma Screener (CTS), etc. All of them help to assess if disturbing events experienced in childhood may still affect your emotions, behaviors, and relationships
