FAQ
1. What’s the difference between a childhood trauma quiz and an emotional trauma test?
The first one is a diagnostic tool that investigates if you have mental health issues as a result of events experienced in childhood. The emotional trauma test aims to explore if you have psychological symptoms of PTSD as a result of events experienced throughout your whole life.
2. What events can cause emotional trauma?
Domestic violence, neglect, physical or sexual assault, emotional abuse, serious accidents, life-threatening events, physical abuse, natural disasters, substance abuse of family members, etc., are the traumatic events that can lead to the development of PTSD and complex PTSD. Even a single traumatic event can lead to the development of a disorder without appropriate help and support.
3. Can adverse childhood experiences lead to emotional trauma?
Yes, traumatic events experienced in childhood can lead to the development of PTSD, complex PTSD, and other psychiatric mental health conditions.
4. What are the effective treatment options for emotional trauma?
Mental health treatment plans vary depending on the severity of your condition, the state of your mental and physical health, and trauma-related symptoms. For some, trauma recovery includes only psychological counselling such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), yoga and meditations, and other non-invasive options. Some, however, need to deal with traumatic memories with the help of medications and the complementary therapy options described earlier.
5. What is the goal of trauma treatment?
Often, trauma survivors develop unhealthy coping skills to deal with the consequences of traumatic events. It can be excessive drinking or substance abuse to numb pain, getting into abusive relationships to “relive” certain feelings and events, or putting yourself at risk to overcome emotional numbness. So, the aim of any professional trauma treatment plan is to teach a person the coping mechanisms that will help to overcome the same problems but in a healthy way that facilitates robust physical and emotional well-being.
