traumatic experience when you were a

child

14
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,279
did something happen to you when you

15
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:29,279
were younger that still takes a toll on

16
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:31,119
your mental health today

17
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:33,360
adverse childhood experiences also known

18
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,640
as aces

19
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,399
are defined as traumatic events that

20
00:00:36,399 --> 00:00:37,840
occur during childhood that have a

21
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,719
lasting negative

22
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:40,399
impact on your emotional well-being as

23
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:43,360

neglect and other kinds of childhood

25
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,039
trauma such as serious illness

26
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:50,079
injury bullying peer victimization and

27
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:51,120
so on

28
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,160
and even years after we've grown up ace

29
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,920
can still continue to have a negative

30
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,360
impact on our mental health and

31
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,719
emotional well-being

32
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:00,480
so it's important that we recognize the

33
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,399
signs of lingering childhood trauma that

34
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,000
hold us back from being happy

35
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,439
and accomplishing all that we want to

36
00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:07,360
achieve in this video

37
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,200

39
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,720
unresolved childhood trauma

40
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,400

number one you're burdened with guilt

51
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:33,840
your early childhood experiences have a

52
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,600
way of shaping the way you view yourself

53
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,680
and the world around you so if you've

54
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,600
had any traumatic experiences when you

55
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,240
were younger

56
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560

impact your mental and emotional

60
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,320
well-being

61

your unresolved trauma may manifest

62
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,079
itself into unexplained and

63
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,880
unreasonable feelings of intense guilt

64
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,520
shame

65
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,200
and regret number two you feel anxious

66
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,000
for no

67
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,560
reason do you feel anxious all the time

68
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,000
but don't know why

69
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,560
are you agitated and restless do you

70
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,000

00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,239
tension or shakiness

73
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:14,879
these are all common symptoms of anxiety

74
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:16,480
but it's usually triggered by a specific

75
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
stimulus or situation

76
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,000
if you have no idea where all your

77
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,080
anxiety is coming from it may be

78
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,680
stemming from the emotional trauma

79
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,319
you've been repressing for so long

80
00:02:26,319 --> 00:02:29,840
number three you're emotionally distant

81
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,319
have you been guarded or cautious about

82
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:33,599
who you led into your life

83
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:35,920
after being hurt by someone you loved

84
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:37,680
while others learn to let go of their

85
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,760
heartbreaks then try again

86
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,160
people who suffer extreme tragedies or

87
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,440
emotional pain

88
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,440
find it easier to distance themselves

89
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200
than deal with the trauma

90
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280
you may be hesitant to be vulnerable

91
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,319
with anyone

92
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:51,920
or to form intimate meaningful

93
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,920
relationships with others

94
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,959
number four you struggle to be happy

95
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:58,879
do you struggle to see the good things

96
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,159
in life

97
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:01,680
you may have had a hard time letting go

98
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,840
of your past and moving forward because

99
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840
of your traumatic experiences

100
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080
you resist positive change and fall into

101
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,440
the trap of denial

102
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,400
negativity and self-sabotage after all

103
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,239
happiness can feel scary and

104
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:16,159
unfamiliar to someone who suffered so

105
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:17,440
much

106
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,519
number five you struggle with

107
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:21,120
self-loathing

108
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,040
for many people self-love and

109
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,200
self-compassion don't come easily

110
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,959
but it can be especially hard for those

111
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:29,440
who experience trauma at a young age

112
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,360
your past experiences may have taught

113
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,519
you that you don't deserve happiness

114
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:35,200
and so you listen to your own negativity

115
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,920
and sabotage your chances at success

116
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,480
the consistency in hurt is what makes it

117
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,360
so comforting

118
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,599
and so hard to let go of number six

119
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:48,640
you tear yourself down did you grow up

120
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,560
in a toxic home environment

121
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,920
do you blame yourself for everything

122
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,680
that goes wrong in your life even if you

123
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,519
had no control over it

124
00:03:55,519 --> 00:03:57,519
an effect of childhood trauma is how it

125
00:03:57,519 --> 00:04:00,000
negatively affects your self-esteem

126
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,080
victims of adverse childhood experiences

127
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080
tend to have a lot of problematic

128
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,720
self-defeating thoughts and behaviors

129
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,640
you may be extremely harsh and critical

130
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,280
of yourself

131
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,720
or often feel worthless and inadequate

132
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,879
number seven you can't control your

133
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,320
emotions

134
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,239
do you often feel overwhelmed by the

135
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:20,239
intensity of your feelings

136
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:21,680
do you take out your anger and

137
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,919
frustration on those around you

138
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:25,680
difficulty controlling your emotions and

139
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,440
having a low stress tolerance are both

140
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440
clear signs that you may be struggling

141
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,080
with some lingering psychological trauma

142
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,400
as a result you may be more defensive

143
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,520
quick to get upset

144
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,759
and you lose your temper a lot and

145
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:38,720
number eight

146
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,600
you gravitate towards the wrong people

147
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,280
do you have a tendency of falling into

148
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,040
unhealthy relationships with people who

149
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,280
are

150
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:47,680
bad for you your dynamic with your

151
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:48,479
parents are

152
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:50,000
templates for all of your future

153
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,160
relationships they teach you what

154
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,080
love looks like and how you should be

155
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,520
treated by others

156
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,840
no matter how awful they may have been

157
00:04:57,840 --> 00:04:59,759
it's simply human to want to recreate

158
00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:01,600
your early childhood experiences because

159
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,639
it feels familiar

160
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,440
and makes sense to you so do you relate

161
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,600
to any of the signs mentioned here

162
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,280
if so how do you plan to work through

163
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,039
your trauma and move on from the pain

164
00:05:11,039 --> 00:05:12,960
you've suffered in the past
