PTSD/TRAUMA TREATMENT

Childhood Abuse & Developmental Trauma

While some experiences can be overtly traumatic, there are also more discreet forms of trauma, such as developmental trauma. Developmental trauma is the result of childhood experiences of mistreatment or abuse that have been repeated many times. Sometimes we didn’t get our basic needs met, like the need to feel safe, heard, and valued. This can lead us to develop certain negative behaviors and false beliefs about ourselves.

For example, if you were neglected or grew up in an overly tense environment, you may feel triggered when someone is angry at you, or you may experience intense anger yourself. You may also struggle with trusting people and being able to develop solid relationships.

With the help of an experienced, trustworthy therapist at Therapy Cincinnati, you can work toward bettering your life and lessening your trauma’s impact on you.
