Do you know this one truth about complex childhood trauma?

“What happened - was not your fault.”

We all know this rationally, but we don’t feel this emotionally.

Instead, we have all these weird symptoms that make us dysfunction in our daily lives.

Often we can’t even explain them and feel at the mercy of our own body. This feels absolutely frustrating.

In order to resolve these symptoms, you have to understand them first.

This is what we do today: We go through 10 common symptoms of complex trauma from childhood.

I will explain each of them and then give you relatable examples.

And in the end, I will also offer you solutions to the symptoms.
