PTSD from emotional abuse can affect you later in life. Even if you don’t realize that these traumatic events are still affecting you, they can show up in your day-to-day life, personal relationships, and your career.

Preverbal trauma can be a difficult form of trauma to recognize because of the lack of memory associated with it, but that doesn’t mean that it should be ignored.

An attachment style is the pattern of behavior in close relationships. It is significantly influenced by a person’s primary caregivers and how they were treated and cared for growing up. An attachment style can impact multiple areas of a person’s life, including their overall mental health and wellness, satisfaction in relationships, and social well-being.

If you grew up with family trauma, there’s a good chance that some of that has carried with you, even into adulthood. Both your body and brain have a way of holding onto trauma, even if you may not even realize it.
