The wounds from your childhood are still fresh.
Understanding the effects of childhood trauma and abuse isn't easy, but it's worth exploring if you ever want to move on.
You grew up and did the best you could to let go and move on. But, you’ve also had a lot of struggles, especially with mental health and relationships.
You’ve suffered from anxiety. You don’t feel lovable. You haven’t been able to find love that works. You’re afraid of wanting too much.
Maybe you have an eating disorder. You feel hopeless...a lot. You've been haunted by dark persistent episodes of depression.
When you least expect it (or want it), panic attacks take over. And letting go of the past feels impossible.
This is no way to live.
And, you’ve started to wonder: Could any of this be because of what happened so long ago?
Could you still be suffering from childhood trauma?
