Childhood trauma can follow people into adulthood in ways they often blame on their personality.
Many adults are still living with patterns that started in environments where they had to adapt to feel safe. They may feel reactive. Guarded. Anxious. Avoidant. Exhausted. And they may not realize those responses once made sense.
Nadia Adessi made this guide to help you understand how childhood trauma can affect you across a lifetime, and how to begin making sense of the patterns you were never properly taught to understandโค๏ธ

looking back on those moments, itโs easy to focus on the survival of the family: the careers, the income, the stability.
But to a child under 8, "careers and income" are abstract concepts.
"shutting up" about a report of physical abuse is a moment where he learned that the family's public image was more important than his internal safety.

Been doing a bunch more digging and facing my fears and learning and, oh gosh this is hard sometimes. So, I'm gonna start a collection of quotations for myself. These are all from the book Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am? by John Powell
~~~
"I am afraid to tell you who I am, because if I tell you who I am, you may not like who I am, and it's all I have."
~~~
Early events that may cause long-term traumatic reactions, from conception to 6 months oldโ, Attachment and Developmental Trauma โ One or both parents struggling with connection issues โ Attachment attempts with a dissociated, chronically depressed, anxious or angry mother โ A mother with psychosis or borderline traits โ Being made to feel like a burden โ Physical or emotional abuse โ Neglect โ Adoption Shock Trauma โ Death in the family โ Traumatic loss and bereavement โ Being born into wartime, depression, significant poverty โ Intergenerational trauma such as being born to Holocaust survivors โ Natural disasters
(Heller & Lapierre, 2012)

call me oversensitive or something if you want but personally as a survivor of developmental trauma that is ingrained into my sense of being in such foundational ways that i'll probably never be able to fully rid myself of its effects (and that's okay) i'd rather see more messaging along the lines of "you'll someday reach a point where you realize there is so much more to who you are as a person than your trauma/suffering" as opposed to "stop making your trauma/suffering apart of your identity that's not healthy" because, to me, the latter almost frames it as if not being able to just snap yourself out of that mindset (or if you're still being regularly subject to more trauma) is some kind of personal failing, whereas the latter seems more like the kind of compassionate sentiment that people like me need.
it's hard not to identify with suffering when that's all you've ever been given to work with. it's hard not to identify with suffering when you're still being put through it due to circumstances outside of your control. it's hard when the former happens and then the latter happens too to reinforce it. idk i really dislike the way online recovery culture often seems to implicitly moralize aspects of "recovery" like this, or acts as if recovery is solely about one's personal choices rather than other factors (like whether one is even in a safe and stable enough life circumstance) playing a role that's just as big, if not bigger.

I'm sharing this because this information is very insightful and helpful in better understanding of how trauma, especially in childhood, forms a person and follows it into adulthood.
