The experience of childhood trauma is unique to each individual. Two children may grow up in the same family dynamic but their emotional experience and responses can vary greatly.
In an ideal world, a child grows up in a safe, loving and secure family dynamic where their feelings and emotional needs are met and nurtured thereby allowing the child to flourish and grow. When this is experienced, the child learns healthy, appropriate coping skills and resilience to freely express feelings without fear or judgement.
