Childhood Trauma in Adults
Childhood trauma can continue to shape adult life through hypervigilance, people-pleasing, self-criticism, trust issues, emotional shutdown, or anxiety that seems hard to explain. Many adults do not immediately connect their current struggles to early experiences because those patterns have simply felt normal for a long time.
Therapy can help uncover how early experiences shaped survival strategies and how those strategies may no longer be serving you now.
