now let's begin have you ever had a

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:25.039
traumatic experience when you were a

00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:25.840
child

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:27.279
did something happen to you when you

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:29.279
were younger that still takes a toll on

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:31.119
your mental health today

00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:33.360
adverse childhood experiences also known

00:00:33.360 --> 00:00:34.640
as aces

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.399
are defined as traumatic events that

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:37.840
occur during childhood that have a

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:38.719
lasting negative

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

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.360
you grow up these events include abuse

00:00:43.360 --> 00:00:45.120
neglect and other kinds of childhood

00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:47.039
trauma such as serious illness

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:50.079
injury bullying peer victimization and

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.120
so on

00:00:51.120 --> 00:00:54.160
and even years after we've grown up ace

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:55.920
can still continue to have a negative

00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.360
impact on our mental health and

00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:58.719
emotional well-being

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.480
so it's important that we recognize the

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:02.399
signs of lingering childhood trauma that

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:04.000
hold us back from being happy

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.439
and accomplishing all that we want to

00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.360
achieve in this video

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:09.200
we're going to talk about 8 signs that

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.040
you may still be battling against some

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.720
unresolved childhood trauma

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.400

post-traumatic stress disorder or any

00:01:23.119 --> 00:01:24.400
mental health condition we

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.320
highly advise you to seek help from a

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:28.880
qualified mental health professional

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:32.079
number one you're burdened with guilt

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:33.840
your early childhood experiences have a

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.600
way of shaping the way you view yourself

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:37.680
and the world around you so if you've

00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.600
had any traumatic experiences when you

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:40.240
were younger

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:42.560
such as abuse neglect or domestic

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.520
violence

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:45.759
it can warp your judgment and negatively

00:01:45.759 --> 00:01:47.280
impact your mental and emotional

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.320
well-being

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:50.240
your unresolved trauma may manifest

00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.079
itself into unexplained and

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:54.880
unreasonable feelings of intense guilt

00:01:54.880 --> 00:01:55.520
shame

00:01:55.520 --> 00:01:59.200
and regret number two you feel anxious

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:00.000
for no

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.560
reason do you feel anxious all the time

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.000
but don't know why

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.560
are you agitated and restless do you

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:08.000
often experience an elevated

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.319
heart rate profuse sweating muscle

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:12.239
tension or shakiness

00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:14.879
these are all common symptoms of anxiety

00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:16.480
but it's usually triggered by a specific

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.560
stimulus or situation

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.000
if you have no idea where all your

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.080
anxiety is coming from it may be

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:23.680
stemming from the emotional trauma

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.319
you've been repressing for so long

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.840
number three you're emotionally distant

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.319
have you been guarded or cautious about

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.599
who you led into your life

00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.920
after being hurt by someone you loved

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:37.680
while others learn to let go of their

00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:39.760
heartbreaks then try again

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:42.160
people who suffer extreme tragedies or

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:43.440
emotional pain

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:45.440
find it easier to distance themselves

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:47.200
than deal with the trauma

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:49.280
you may be hesitant to be vulnerable

00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:50.319
with anyone

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:51.920
or to form intimate meaningful

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:53.920
relationships with others

00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:56.959
number four you struggle to be happy

00:02:56.959 --> 00:02:58.879
do you struggle to see the good things

00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:00.159
in life

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.680
you may have had a hard time letting go

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.840
of your past and moving forward because

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:05.840
of your traumatic experiences

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:08.080
you resist positive change and fall into

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:09.440
the trap of denial

00:03:09.440 --> 00:03:12.400
negativity and self-sabotage after all

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.239
happiness can feel scary and

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:16.159
unfamiliar to someone who suffered so

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.440
much

00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:19.519
number five you struggle with

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:21.120
self-loathing

00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.040
for many people self-love and

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:25.200
self-compassion don't come easily

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:26.959
but it can be especially hard for those

00:03:26.959 --> 00:03:29.440
who experience trauma at a young age

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:31.360
your past experiences may have taught

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.519
you that you don't deserve happiness

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:35.200
and so you listen to your own negativity

00:03:35.200 --> 00:03:37.920
and sabotage your chances at success

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:40.480
the consistency in hurt is what makes it

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:41.360
so comforting

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.599
and so hard to let go of number six

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.640
you tear yourself down did you grow up

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:50.560
in a toxic home environment

00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:51.920
do you blame yourself for everything

00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:53.680
that goes wrong in your life even if you

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.519
had no control over it

00:03:55.519 --> 00:03:57.519
an effect of childhood trauma is how it

00:03:57.519 --> 00:04:00.000
negatively affects your self-esteem

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.080
victims of adverse childhood experiences

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.080
tend to have a lot of problematic

00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.720
self-defeating thoughts and behaviors

00:04:06.720 --> 00:04:08.640
you may be extremely harsh and critical

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:09.280
of yourself

00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.720
or often feel worthless and inadequate

00:04:12.720 --> 00:04:14.879
number seven you can't control your

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.320
emotions

00:04:16.320 --> 00:04:18.239
do you often feel overwhelmed by the

00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:20.239
intensity of your feelings

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:21.680
do you take out your anger and

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.919
frustration on those around you

00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:25.680
difficulty controlling your emotions and

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:27.440
having a low stress tolerance are both

00:04:27.440 --> 00:04:29.440
clear signs that you may be struggling

00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:32.080
with some lingering psychological trauma

00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:34.400
as a result you may be more defensive

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:35.520
quick to get upset

00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:37.759
and you lose your temper a lot and

00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:38.720
number eight

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.600
you gravitate towards the wrong people

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.280
do you have a tendency of falling into

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:45.040
unhealthy relationships with people who

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:45.280
are

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:47.680
bad for you your dynamic with your

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:48.479
parents are

00:04:48.479 --> 00:04:50.000
templates for all of your future

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.160
relationships they teach you what

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.080
love looks like and how you should be

00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:55.520
treated by others

00:04:55.520 --> 00:04:57.840
no matter how awful they may have been

00:04:57.840 --> 00:04:59.759
it's simply human to want to recreate

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.600
your early childhood experiences because

00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:02.639
it feels familiar

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.440
and makes sense to you so do you relate

00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:07.600
to any of the signs mentioned here

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.280
if so how do you plan to work through

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:11.039
your trauma and move on from the pain

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:12.960
