The Impact of Childhood Trauma | How Early Experiences Affect Your Life

Today we talk about childhood trauma and the impact it has on children. Adam tells about an experience he had in high school, getting made fun of because of his weight and sort of nerdiness, and then the impact it had on his thinking. We talk about how much pain he went through and how this affected his desire to go to school. Eventually Adam felt he became the bully, or the very thing he loathed. We talk about the divorce of Adam’s parents and how much that impacted his ability to even have conversations. Rosie tells about how Adam’s desire to cook rather than have her cook stems from Adam’s past and not because he thinks Rosie is bad at cooking.

“So often we don’t realize that adults are carrying childhood trauma into the now, and there might be nearly bipolar experiences happening. What one person is experiencing with someone could be completely different for someone else. And it could just be that they’re triggering the old trauma.” 11:14
