Emotional trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s life. It often stems from distressing events or circumstances, especially during childhood, which can leave lasting emotional scars. These experiences can shape how we view ourselves, others, and the world around us, often leading to difficulties in adulthood.

Childhood is a critical period for emotional development. During this time, adverse experiences such as neglect, abuse, loss of a loved one, or witnessing violence can result in emotional trauma.

Since children often lack the coping mechanisms to deal with such experiences effectively. As a result, they may internalize the pain, leading to feelings of fear, helplessness, and insecurity that can persist into adulthood.

Emotional trauma can manifest in various ways, including:

• Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships
• Low self-esteem and feelings of worthlessness
• Persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, or anger
• Intrusive thoughts about the traumatic experience
• Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
• Physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, or gastrointestinal problems
