Invisible Childhood Trauma Nobody Talks About
Channel: Psych2Go
Date: 26/03/2024

We made many videos on the impact of childhood trauma in our lives. We received numerous comments and messages expressing gratitude for the information we shared. It's possible that some of us have experienced trauma without realizing it. This raises the question:

Were you abused as a child and not even know it? 

In this thought-provoking discussion, we delve into the sensitive topic of childhood trauma and abuse. We will explore the lasting impact of emotional abuse, childhood emotional neglect, and other forms of mistreatment on mental health. We will also discover how childhood trauma can lead to conditions like CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and childhood PTSD. 

We provide a safe space for survivors to share their experiences in the comments below and offer empathetic insights for healing and understanding. 

If you or someone you know has been affected by childhood abuse, this video aims to shed light on this invisible pain and foster a supportive community.
