Uncovering Hidden Childhood Trauma: Signs, Symptoms, and Steps to Healing

In this episode I discuss hidden childhood trauma, its symptoms, and why understanding it is crucial for our healing journey. Unresolved childhood trauma can manifest in various ways, such as emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and even physical health issues. Recognising these signs allows us to approach them with compassion rather than self-judgment, which is a significant step towards healing. By addressing these deep-rooted issues, we can begin to transform our pain and foster self-acceptance. The episode also includes a guided hypnosis.

Welcome to another instalment of my series on childhood trauma and our reactions to it. So far I’ve been talking about trauma, the causes of dysfunctional families and the four F's – the four different ways we can react to trauma which include fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. Fawn is another word for pleasing and in this episode I’m going to focus on the pleaser reaction to trauma and what pleaser behaviour looks like. Similar to my other episodes, I end with a guided hypnotherapy session, helping those pleasers watching the video to process their trauma and start moving forward towards a healthier, more balanced self.

In this episode, I discuss the topic of growing up in a dysfunctional family and explore the various forms this can take, impacting both childhood and adult life. Some of the more severe include addiction, abuse, neglect, mental disorders, and abandonment. These dysfunctions can significantly affect a child's development. As a psychologist, I aim to deepen the understanding of family dysfunction and its impact on individuals. In the latter part of the video, I focus on healing and recovery. I lead a guided hypnosis session designed to mitigate the effects of familial dysfunction. This involves visualising a staircase leading to deeper relaxation and creating a nurturing environment for one's inner child. The goal is to provide the care, love, and support that may have been missing, thereby helping to heal past wounds.
