Childhood Trauma Series Pt. 5 - Exploring The Different Types of Childhood Trauma & How Do They Affect Us? Identifying Your Triggers & Practicing Coping Skills To Overcome Traumatic Stress

The word “trauma” is thrown around a lot these days, and it can be hard to know what “counts” as trauma. Especially when the trauma we experienced was so long ago, when we were children. It’s easy to dismiss our experiences, blame ourselves, or think “it’s not that big of a deal.”

In today’s episode, Tyra talks about the different types of childhood trauma, and her experiences with them. She makes sure you know that you’re not alone in what you experienced as a child, and you were NOT overreacting or making too big a deal out of it. From bullying to natural disasters, living through difficult things in childhood has a huge impact on our lives even after the trauma is over. She also defines “Childhood Traumatic Stress”, and offers advice for how you can heal from childhood trauma.

Biggest Take Aways:
