YOU DESERVE PEACE!
Childhood Trauma Therapy In Boca Raton, Florida
Childhood trauma doesn’t always stay in the past. As you get older, it can show up as anxiety, guilt, anger, feeling numb, or trouble trusting people. You may feel overwhelmed in close relationships or react strongly to small things. If this sounds like you, you’re not overreacting, your mind and body learned to protect you. With our childhood trauma therapy in Boca Raton, healing is possible, and you can feel safe and steady again.
How Childhood Trauma Shows Up in Adult Life?
According to CDC, Nearly 2 in 3 adults report experiencing at least one adverse childhood experience, and the effects often last a lifetime.
Here are some common types:
-
Emotional abuse or neglect: constant criticism, humiliation, threats, or being ignored; not getting comfort, affection, or support
-
Physical abuse: hitting, shaking, harsh punishment, or any harm that caused fear or injury
-
Sexual abuse: any sexual contact, pressure, or exposure that was not wanted or age-appropriate
-
Domestic violence exposure: seeing or hearing violence at home, even if it wasn’t directed at you
-
Loss, abandonment, or unstable caregiving: divorce with high conflict, a parent leaving, foster care, frequent moves, or caregivers who were unpredictable
-
Bullying, medical trauma, or accidents: repeated bullying, scary hospital stays or procedures, serious injuries, or frightening accident

How Childhood Trauma Shows Up in Adult Life?
If childhood experiences are still affecting your daily life, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening and feel more in control. A simple way to start is to check in with yourself, if you relate to 3 or more of the signs below, childhood trauma therapy may be a good fit.
-
You feel on edge or unsafe even when things are okay.
-
You overthink or expect the worst.
-
You have big reactions to small triggers.
-
You feel numb, disconnected, or “shut down”.
-
You struggle with trust, closeness, or boundaries.
-
You carry shame, guilt, or harsh self-talk.
-
You use food, alcohol, work, or scrolling to cope.
If you’re unsure, that’s normal. An evaluation can help you understand what’s going on, name the patterns, and choose the right next steps, without judgment.
