How can we get rid of childhood trauma?

To cure childhood trauma, we must first understand what childhood trauma is and take targeted measures to treat it. It is important to find the support of self-belief and treat childhood trauma slowly according to the following three steps.

First, know the types of childhood trauma.

For a long time, we may not be fully aware that we have suffered childhood trauma, which is one of the reasons why childhood trauma is difficult to get rid of.

Psychologically, childhood trauma can be divided into three categories: expectation trauma, separation trauma and neglect trauma.

1. Expectant trauma: refers to being accused, beaten or abused by others, or mental attack and cold violence for failing to meet the expectations and hopes of others.

2. Dissociative trauma: refers to the lack of love and care caused by separation from close relatives or childhood death.

3. Neglect of trauma: refers to the psychological and emotional neglect of parents and relatives in childhood, and mental dissatisfaction.

Recognizing childhood trauma and what kind of trauma is the first step to cure and get rid of childhood pain.

Second, how to cure childhood trauma.

Step 1: Understand and accept childhood trauma.

If we want to heal childhood trauma, we must find out the specific experiences and events that caused the trauma and realize that it has indeed brought us lasting negative effects.

The past cannot be changed. Don't be persistent, accept it and become a better self. This is the truth you should pursue now.

Psychologically speaking, accepting trauma can make us know ourselves better. Pain is something we don't want to think about or happen, but it has already happened and become an inseparable part of us. We accept it to make us who we are, not to be overwhelmed by it.

Step 2: Face the root of trauma.

When you find and accept that childhood trauma continues to affect you, then face the root cause of childhood trauma and tell it by telling or writing, regardless of the outcome, and take this as an opportunity to draw a full stop.

If we always avoid and suppress trauma, it will become a kind of negative self-protection, unable to get rid of the haze caused by childhood trauma, release negative emotions in our hearts and bring deeper negative effects.

Step 3: Seek the support of strength and faith.

Looking for the support of external resources, such as the support of friends, the recognition of friends, these forces will play an important role in the healing process, slowly moisten the dry mind and make us glow with vitality.

Looking for the support of self-strength, establishing our new beliefs, such as focusing on our hobbies, doing some work to get a sense of accomplishment, and making goals and plans for becoming a better self, these compensation functions and self-beliefs can improve ourselves, which is the fundamental force to heal or even eliminate childhood trauma.

Because the injury and influence caused by childhood trauma are extremely serious, I hope parents can pay more attention to their children's childhood life, teach and guide their children how to deal with injuries, and also hope that those who have been traumatized by childhood can walk out of the haze and finally see the rainbow after the rain and achieve better themselves.
