Wondering if your pain might stem from childhood trauma?

Complete my checklist to find out.

Childhood trauma happens when we experience ongoing harm or miss out on positive experiences from our early relationships, especially with parents. Because children are so vulnerable and have little power to change their situation, this type of trauma can deeply affect your ability to trust, form relationships, and impact your self-worth and emotional well-being. As adults, the after-effects of trauma can leave life-long scars that might be hard to recognise as trauma.

This checklist helps you understand whether your pain today is rooted in unresolved trauma from your childhood, providing clarity and a path forward.
