Would you believe falling from a bicycle is traumatic?
Do you consider falling from a bike to be traumatic? Such an incident can result in both physical and emotional injury. It may lead to a fear of falling and can affect one's confidence and willingness to take risks. However, some may find this perspective unreasonable.
Childhood traumas come in different forms:
Physical abuse in the form hit by a parent, a significant care giver and/ or siblings.
Emotional Abuse: Constant criticism, belittling, or verbal attacks from caregivers can deeply wound a child emotionally.
Sexual Abuse: Any form of unwanted sexual contact or exploitation, whether by a family member, caregiver, or stranger, can leave lasting scars.
Neglect: Failure to provide for a child's basic needs, such as food, shelter, clothing, or emotional support, can be traumatic.
Parental Separation or Divorce: The breakup of a family unit can be distressing for children, especially if it involves conflict or abandonment.
Witnessing Domestic Violence: Being exposed to violence between caregivers or family members can be profoundly traumatic for a child.
Bullying: Persistent bullying at school or in the community can lead to feelings of helplessness, isolation, and low self-worth.
Loss of a Loved One: The death or prolonged absence of a parent, sibling, or other significant figure can be deeply distressing for a child.
Chronic Illness or Disability: Coping with a chronic illness or disability, either in oneself or in a loved one, can be overwhelming for a child.
