Childhood trauma is more common than you think…
Children who experience a distressing or harmful event can live with lasting negative effects on their emotional, mental, and physical health.
These events can include abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, experiencing accidents or natural disasters. It’s crucial to recognise that a child’s response to trauma can vary, and even seemingly minor events may be overwhelming for a young child.
Whilst identifying and addressing trauma early can mitigate long-term effects, there are also other considerations to be aware of – firstly that the trauma may not reveal itself until many years after the event and may be triggered by circumstances later in life.
A sense of community and belonging is essential for our wellbeing and societal health. Without support and identity, we can feel isolated, stressed, and struggle to establish purpose.
Mother and Integrated Mental Wellness Coach Barb Hill shares how her childhood experience shaped the rest of her life and continues to influence how she shows up.
Barb’s story is one of a ‘survivor’, from her premature birth, through family adversity, abuse, and SIDS, to recovery and finding peace in her own truth.
