Pssst.

Not everyone's childhood trauma is obvious to see.

In fact, the signs can be subtle… or the person is very trained in hiding them.

BUT, if you know what to look for, you can identify pretty reliably that someone had a rough childhood.

In the past episode, I presented to you 10 obvious signs that someone had a traumatic childhood. Today, we take a look at 10 subtle, more hidden signs.

As we go through them, you might recognize these signs in yourself, a close friend, or even a family member. So in the end, we talk about what you should do in such a situation.
