Why is the psychological trauma of childhood difficult to cure when you grow up? What psychological trauma have you left since you were a child?

There are several reasons why childhood psychological trauma is difficult to cure when you grow up:

1. development stage: psychological development is particularly critical in childhood. If you experience trauma at this time, it may have a lasting impact on your cognition, mood and interpersonal relationship.

2. Self-awareness: Children's understanding of themselves and the world is imperfect, and it is easy to internalize bad experiences into their own faults or defects, resulting in impaired self-esteem.

3. Neuroplasticity: The neuroplasticity of children's brain is high, and trauma will have an important impact on the structure and function of the brain, forming an learned response and maintaining it for a long time.

4. Lack of coping mechanism: Children lack effective coping mechanism and emotional adjustment ability, and it is difficult to effectively deal with related emotions and pressures after trauma.

5. Influence of parents and environment: Children's mental health often depends on the support and care of parents and family environment. Without a certain degree of repair and protection, the wound is difficult to heal itself.

The psychological trauma left by childhood varies from person to person, and the common ones are:

1. Domestic violence or abuse: physical or psychological harm caused by family members, such as domestic violence, abuse, sexual assault, etc.

2. The relationship between parents is not harmonious: parents are divorced, the parent-child relationship is not harmonious, and parents are absent.

3. Isolation and exclusion: being isolated, excluded and bullied in school or social circles.

4. bereavement or bereavement: bereavement pain, including the death of parents and the sudden death of relatives.

5. Impaired self-esteem and self-worth: being degraded, neglected, denied or despised for a long time, lacking self-confidence and self-esteem.

6. Tension and anxiety: Being in a state of fear, tension and anxiety for a long time, such as family instability and economic difficulties.

It is worth noting that everyone's reaction and influence on psychological trauma are different. Some people may be able to adapt and recover well, while others need extra help and support to heal the trauma.

I think the reason why childhood psychological trauma is difficult to heal when we grow up is mainly because that childhood experience has deeply affected our self-cognition, emotional adjustment and interpersonal relationship. I have experienced some psychological trauma since I was a child, one of which is related to school.

When I was a primary school student, I was severely bullied. Going to school every day has become a nightmare, and I am constantly ridiculed and insulted by my classmates. I remember once, several classmates around me joked about my appearance and background, which made me feel very isolated and helpless. This experience gave me a sense of inferiority and social fear. I no longer believe in interpersonal relationships, and I dare not make new friends, which even affects my academic performance.

With the passage of time, although I grew up, these traces of trauma never completely disappeared. I found that due to the pain of the past, I often felt uneasy in social situations, and I was always worried that I would be rejected or laughed at again. I have also become too demanding of myself, hoping to make up for my past injuries with excellent results. However, this strong self-protection and escape mechanism has not really freed me from the influence of psychological trauma.

It takes time, awareness and professional help to heal these psychological wounds left by childhood. I gradually realized that to change my negative beliefs and emotions, I need to actively seek psychological counseling and learn appropriate coping strategies. Through communication with professionals, I gradually learned how to rebuild my self-esteem and self-confidence and how to establish healthy interpersonal relationships with others. Although this process is not easy, I believe that as long as I work hard, I can gradually overcome the psychological trauma left by my childhood and regain my inner balance and peace.
