0:00:23.439,0:00:25.039
traumatic experience when you were a

0:00:25.039,0:00:25.840
child

0:00:25.840,0:00:27.279
did something happen to you when you

0:00:27.279,0:00:29.279
were younger that still takes a toll on

0:00:29.279,0:00:31.119
your mental health today

0:00:31.119,0:00:33.360
adverse childhood experiences also known

0:00:33.360,0:00:34.640
as aces

0:00:34.640,0:00:36.399
are defined as traumatic events that

0:00:36.399,0:00:37.840
occur during childhood that have a

0:00:37.840,0:00:38.719
lasting negative

0:00:38.719,0:00:40.399
impact on your emotional well-being as

0:00:40.399,0:00:43.360
you grow up these events include abuse

0:00:43.360,0:00:45.120
neglect and other kinds of childhood

0:00:45.120,0:00:47.039
trauma such as serious illness

0:00:47.039,0:00:50.079
injury bullying peer victimization and

0:00:50.079,0:00:51.120
so on

0:00:51.120,0:00:54.160
and even years after we've grown up ace

0:00:54.160,0:00:55.920
can still continue to have a negative

0:00:55.920,0:00:57.360
impact on our mental health and

0:00:57.360,0:00:58.719
emotional well-being

0:00:58.719,0:01:00.480
so it's important that we recognize the

0:01:00.480,0:01:02.399
signs of lingering childhood trauma that

0:01:02.399,0:01:04.000
hold us back from being happy

0:01:04.000,0:01:05.439
and accomplishing all that we want to

0:01:05.439,0:01:07.360
achieve in this video

0:01:07.360,0:01:09.200
we're going to talk about 8 signs that

0:01:09.200,0:01:11.040
you may still be battling against some

0:01:11.040,0:01:12.720
unresolved childhood trauma

0:01:12.720,0:01:14.400
before we begin we would like to mention

0:01:23.119,0:01:24.400

0:01:26.320,0:01:28.880
qualified mental health professional

0:01:28.880,0:01:32.079
number one you're burdened with guilt

0:01:32.079,0:01:33.840
your early childhood experiences have a

0:01:33.840,0:01:35.600
way of shaping the way you view yourself

0:01:35.600,0:01:37.680
and the world around you so if you've

0:01:37.680,0:01:39.600
had any traumatic experiences when you

0:01:39.600,0:01:40.240
were younger

0:01:40.240,0:01:42.560
such as abuse neglect or domestic

0:01:42.560,0:01:43.520
violence

0:01:43.520,0:01:45.759
it can warp your judgment and negatively

0:01:45.759,0:01:47.280
impact your mental and emotional

0:01:47.280,0:01:48.320
well-being

0:01:48.320,0:01:50.240
your unresolved trauma may manifest

0:01:50.240,0:01:52.079
itself into unexplained and

0:01:52.079,0:01:54.880
unreasonable feelings of intense guilt

0:01:54.880,0:01:55.520
shame

0:01:55.520,0:01:59.200
and regret number two you feel anxious

0:01:59.200,0:02:00.000
for no

0:02:00.000,0:02:02.560
reason do you feel anxious all the time

0:02:02.560,0:02:04.000
but don't know why

0:02:04.000,0:02:06.560
are you agitated and restless do you

0:02:06.560,0:02:08.000
often experience an elevated

0:02:08.000,0:02:10.319
heart rate profuse sweating muscle

0:02:10.319,0:02:12.239
tension or shakiness

0:02:12.239,0:02:14.879
these are all common symptoms of anxiety

0:02:14.879,0:02:16.480
but it's usually triggered by a specific

0:02:16.480,0:02:18.560
stimulus or situation

0:02:18.560,0:02:20.000
if you have no idea where all your

0:02:20.000,0:02:22.080
anxiety is coming from it may be

0:02:22.080,0:02:23.680
stemming from the emotional trauma

0:02:23.680,0:02:26.319
you've been repressing for so long

0:02:26.319,0:02:29.840
number three you're emotionally distant

0:02:29.840,0:02:32.319
have you been guarded or cautious about

0:02:32.319,0:02:33.599
who you led into your life

0:02:33.599,0:02:35.920
after being hurt by someone you loved

0:02:35.920,0:02:37.680
while others learn to let go of their

0:02:37.680,0:02:39.760
heartbreaks then try again

0:02:39.760,0:02:42.160
people who suffer extreme tragedies or

0:02:42.160,0:02:43.440
emotional pain

0:02:43.440,0:02:45.440
find it easier to distance themselves

0:02:45.440,0:02:47.200
than deal with the trauma

0:02:47.200,0:02:49.280
you may be hesitant to be vulnerable

0:02:49.280,0:02:50.319
with anyone

0:02:50.319,0:02:51.920
or to form intimate meaningful

0:02:51.920,0:02:53.920
relationships with others

0:02:53.920,0:02:56.959
number four you struggle to be happy

0:02:56.959,0:02:58.879
do you struggle to see the good things

0:02:58.879,0:03:00.159
in life

0:03:00.159,0:03:01.680
you may have had a hard time letting go

0:03:01.680,0:03:03.840
of your past and moving forward because

0:03:03.840,0:03:05.840
of your traumatic experiences

0:03:05.840,0:03:08.080
you resist positive change and fall into

0:03:08.080,0:03:09.440
the trap of denial

0:03:09.440,0:03:12.400
negativity and self-sabotage after all

0:03:12.400,0:03:14.239
happiness can feel scary and

0:03:14.239,0:03:16.159
unfamiliar to someone who suffered so

0:03:16.159,0:03:17.440
much

0:03:17.440,0:03:19.519
number five you struggle with

0:03:19.519,0:03:21.120
self-loathing

0:03:21.120,0:03:23.040
for many people self-love and

0:03:23.040,0:03:25.200
self-compassion don't come easily

0:03:25.200,0:03:26.959
but it can be especially hard for those

0:03:26.959,0:03:29.440
who experience trauma at a young age

0:03:29.440,0:03:31.360
your past experiences may have taught

0:03:31.360,0:03:33.519
you that you don't deserve happiness

0:03:33.519,0:03:35.200
and so you listen to your own negativity

0:03:35.200,0:03:37.920
and sabotage your chances at success

0:03:37.920,0:03:40.480
the consistency in hurt is what makes it

0:03:40.480,0:03:41.360
so comforting

0:03:41.360,0:03:45.599
and so hard to let go of number six

0:03:45.599,0:03:48.640
you tear yourself down did you grow up

0:03:48.640,0:03:50.560
in a toxic home environment

0:03:50.560,0:03:51.920
do you blame yourself for everything

0:03:51.920,0:03:53.680
that goes wrong in your life even if you

0:03:53.680,0:03:55.519
had no control over it

0:03:55.519,0:03:57.519
an effect of childhood trauma is how it

0:03:57.519,0:04:00.000
negatively affects your self-esteem

0:04:00.000,0:04:02.080
victims of adverse childhood experiences

0:04:02.080,0:04:04.080
tend to have a lot of problematic

0:04:04.080,0:04:06.720
self-defeating thoughts and behaviors

0:04:06.720,0:04:08.640
you may be extremely harsh and critical

0:04:08.640,0:04:09.280
of yourself

0:04:09.280,0:04:12.720
or often feel worthless and inadequate

0:04:12.720,0:04:14.879
number seven you can't control your

0:04:14.879,0:04:16.320
emotions

0:04:16.320,0:04:18.239
do you often feel overwhelmed by the

0:04:18.239,0:04:20.239
intensity of your feelings

0:04:20.239,0:04:21.680
do you take out your anger and

0:04:21.680,0:04:23.919
frustration on those around you

0:04:23.919,0:04:25.680
difficulty controlling your emotions and

0:04:25.680,0:04:27.440
having a low stress tolerance are both

0:04:27.440,0:04:29.440
clear signs that you may be struggling

0:04:29.440,0:04:32.080
with some lingering psychological trauma

0:04:32.080,0:04:34.400
as a result you may be more defensive

0:04:34.400,0:04:35.520
quick to get upset

0:04:35.520,0:04:37.759
and you lose your temper a lot and

0:04:37.759,0:04:38.720
number eight

0:04:38.720,0:04:41.600
you gravitate towards the wrong people

0:04:41.600,0:04:43.280
do you have a tendency of falling into

0:04:43.280,0:04:45.040
unhealthy relationships with people who

0:04:45.040,0:04:45.280
are

0:04:45.280,0:04:47.680
bad for you your dynamic with your

0:04:47.680,0:04:48.479
parents are

0:04:48.479,0:04:50.000
templates for all of your future

0:04:50.000,0:04:52.160
relationships they teach you what

0:04:52.160,0:04:54.080
love looks like and how you should be

0:04:54.080,0:04:55.520
treated by others

0:04:55.520,0:04:57.840
no matter how awful they may have been

0:04:57.840,0:04:59.759
it's simply human to want to recreate

0:04:59.759,0:05:01.600
your early childhood experiences because

0:05:01.600,0:05:02.639
it feels familiar

0:05:02.639,0:05:05.440
and makes sense to you so do you relate

0:05:05.440,0:05:07.600
to any of the signs mentioned here

0:05:07.600,0:05:09.280
if so how do you plan to work through

0:05:09.280,0:05:11.039
your trauma and move on from the pain
