Trauma Plays A Role

Our first experiences with trauma transpire when we are young. Early childhood trauma, which can include severe trauma, like verbal and physical abuse, but also the less understood trauma that leaves small cracks in our psyche and disrupts how we relate to the world, ourselves and others. All trauma is significant and can manifest in any form that detracts from a person’s world view. When we pause and zero in on our early experiences with trauma, in any form, we’re able to see a blueprint of how early experiences left an imprint on us and still play a role in our lives. These early experiences shape how we later view ourselves, others, form romantic relationships, friendships, work relations and determine how we relate to our family.
