Childhood Trauma Screening | Do Those Pasts Still Affect You Today?

1. What Is Childhood Trauma?

Childhood trauma does not refer only to extreme violence; it refers to negative experiences during childhood that exceeded one's ability to cope at the time, experiences that may continue to affect an individual's emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and self-perception. Trauma can be overt (such as abuse), or it can be hidden (such as emotional neglect or a tense family atmosphere).

Common types of childhood trauma include:

• Emotional neglect: long-term lack of emotional response and support
• Physical or emotional abuse
• Witnessing domestic violence or conflict
• Instability or loss of an important caregiver
• Being belittled, humiliated, or over-controlled for a long time

2. How Do Childhood Experiences Affect You Today?

The effects of childhood trauma are often subtle, and they may affect you as an adult through:

• Affecting the brain's response patterns to stress
• Forming an insecure attachment style
• Shaping negative core beliefs about the self (such as 'I am not good enough' or 'I am not worthy of love')
• Developing maladaptive interpersonal patterns
• Affecting emotional regulation ability
