Imagine a shadow that follows you from childhood, a haunting echo of experiences that should have been filled with innocence and joy but were marred by pain and distress. It is unresolved childhood trauma – an echo from past encounters too heavy for a child to bear. These moments, whether the prick of neglect, the sting of abandonment, the chill of abuse, or the confusion of parental conflict, become imprinted in our psyche, unresolved, and leave a lasting imprint on our mental health and well-being. The effects are enduring, the echoes loud, but we begin our journey to healing in understanding.
