Symptoms of Childhood Trauma Include:
Low self-esteem, chronic feelings of shame or guilt
Inability to shake off feelings of fear and helplessness
Never feeling safe or able to trust anyone
Anxiety, depression, anger, or emotional dysregulation

overcome
Childhood Trauma – and design the life you deserve.
