What Is Childhood Trauma?

Childhood trauma refers to adverse experiences during formative years (0-18), such as abuse, neglect, loss, or household dysfunction, that disrupt a child’s sense of safety and development. These events often carry into adulthood if left unhealed.

At TruPaths, we hold this truth sacred: no pain is too small to deserve healing. Every step of your journey will be met with kindness, patience, and support.

Common Symptoms in Adulthood:

Low self-worth, anxiety, or depression
Difficulty forming healthy relationships
Emotional dysregulation or dissociation
Flashbacks or chronic shame
