The impact of childhood psychological trauma on adult life

Abstract

Within the framework of this study, the possibility of mitigating the effects of childhood trauma and strengthening the physical and mental health of adults was analyzed, since childhood trauma negatively affects an adult. At the same time, it is possible that some people can develop resilience and establish barriers that help them overcome the difficulties they have had to face. The term "childhood psychological trauma" refers to emotionally and/or mentally unpleasant or disturbing events that occurred in childhood and can have a long-term impact on a person's physical and mental health. Adults who have experienced trauma in childhood may have difficulty building and maintaining healthy connections with others, and communication with the opposite sex does not go well. The aim of the research was to study the impact of childhood injuries on adult life, as well as to identify the relationship between childhood psychotrauma and post-traumatic symptoms of adults. Standard tests for childhood trauma and post-traumatic effects were used for the study. For this purpose, a sample of 100 people aged 18-50 years was taken. The novelty of the study lies in the need for constant updating of knowledge and methods of working with people who experienced psychological trauma in childhood, taking into account changing conditions and factors affecting their psychological state. The results of the study can be used to develop programs for the prevention of childhood psychological trauma. The results showed that childhood injuries can have a long-term effect on people even in adulthood. The results indicate a close relationship between childhood trauma and the development of symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder of adults. According to a positive correlation, the likelihood of developing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder increases as childhood trauma increases. It is important to note that correlation does not indicate a causal relationship. The findings do not prove a causal relationship, even if there is a significant correlation between childhood trauma and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Other factors such as genetic predisposition, social support, and coping methods can also influence post-traumatic stress disorder.
