Brad Schipke explains how to tell if your anxiety comes from childhood trauma. Re-experiencing past events is a clear sign. Journal your anxiety, trace where the feeling originates, and look for a direct link between your current distress and past abuse.
How do you know if you have PTSD from childhood trauma? Now, this will actually be pretty obvious because you will be re-experiencing certain events from your childhood. So if you are experiencing anxiety, you can start to journal about it and ask yourself, where is this coming from? Why am I experiencing this anxiety? And what you'll find, if it's from the childhood trauma, is there will be a direct correlation. There will be a direct connection to the emotion that you're experiencing right now, the negative emotion you're feeling right now, or the negative thoughts, negative beliefs, whatever it is that you're experiencing right now. To the trauma. And you need to trust your mind. If, if you start to ask yourself, where is this coming from? And it brings you back to the abuse in your childhood, it is highly likely, uh, and I would say it's 100% likely that what you're experiencing right now is linked to the trauma in your past.
