8 signs you're dealing with childhood trauma💔 (sessions #7)

This video describes 8 common areas of difficulty for people who have experienced childhood trauma (also differentiating from autism/adhd in terms of the relational impact of childhood trauma vs neurodivergent qualities, developmental challenges, etc and why important to discuss and differentiate.)

***This "Sage Sessions" series will start broadly and in the next few videos I will start diving into each of the topics (ie attachment, autism, adhd, trauma, childhood, adult relationships etc) in MORE SPECIFIC detail (ie "what happens when someone with avoidant attachment ends a relationship..."

Oh my God this lady is amazing. Just in the first few minutes I was able to deduct and acknowledge so much about myself!

1. Relationships- I seem to struggle with just about every relationship, including with myself.
2. Emotional Dysregulation- I get overwhelmed with my own feelings on a regular basis, second guessing how I am feeling and what I should be doing about it. Questioning if I handled something correctly gets so boring. I am awful projecting on other cars while driving, calling people names like cheesedick if they pull out in front of me.
3. Hyper Vigiliance/Anxiety- my gut is always tight, I am always trying to sigh, take a deep breath and let my shoulders relax. My neutral state is alone in a darkened room at home smoking weed while hanging out on my computer. I over analyze everything and am waiting for the next terrible thing to happen. Feels like I am always in trouble, but I don't know why.
4. Low self-esteem- I know my testosterone if very low with my autoimmune, my inner critic is awful, I have very high standards for myself and others, nobody ever measures up - including me. I don't even know what winning actually means.
5. Cognitive Issues- I journal but there are gaps in my childhood, but when I put things in order I can see how several traumatic events were on the build up to a big crash.
Sleep- I am always sleepy and never able to relax and take a nap, despite being home a lot and out of work. I am up with a bolt at 5am and rarely can go back to sleep. I would listen for the sounds of my step dad upstairs for cues.
6. Chronic Illness- I have asthma, hashimotos, adrenal burnout, exzcema, low testosterone, gout, cushings syndrome....I keep finding new ones.
7. Self Sabotage- I quit drinking 12 years ago but for a long time I was taking it all out on myself.
I have major trauma from my childhood, but I am hopeful that I can get better in time.
8. Wounds- so many.

I would say that most of the 8 signs you listed are true for me. It's only been within the past few years that I started learning about how my past experiences have affected me as an adult. I started a really deep dive 2 years ago after I experienced a flashback and was told I have CPTSD.

I'm really enjoying your sessions videos, Dr. Kim!

Thank you for spending time discussing the issue of childhood trauma. Please advise of any good books on the subject that you would recommend.

[tracirex]

as kristy forbes from InTune Pathways says "autistic is our identity and our culture".

[MOTHINTHEHALL]

🦉Peace & Greetings. Within Perception vs Perception, with most, not all key points you’ve made. What parts would differentiate those with, let’s say, Astronomical Birth Signs Character Traits?
