Childhood Trauma and its Consequences

Children who have experienced emotional, physical or sexual abuse, neglect, violence, parental separation or abandonment can live an adult life defined by those traumatic incidents. The amount of emotional and psychological stress lived during early years in life might have an impact at some point in adulthood and manifest in psychological or physical problems. Mainly, if the damage to that child’s mind is significant as a result of serious distressing events and these exceed the child’s ability to cope or integrate the emotions involved in that experience.
