The experiences of our childhood do more than just form faint memories. They implant on us in transformative ways that go on to impact our adult lives for decades to come. When you grow up in the middle of trauma, chaos, or fear it creates crucial baselines that inform everything from how we process stress on how we form relationships. Our childhood experiences shape us more than perhaps any other events in our lives, yet so many of us fail to fully explore and resolve them.

By identifying your child trauma archetype, you can empower yourself to heal as an adult. This means going deep, though, and confronting memories, moments, and people who might otherwise give you a strong emotional response. The more we understand where we’ve come from, the more effective we can be at determining where we go. Stop running from the pain of your dysfunctional childhood and embrace it. Identify your broken child archetype, then use that knowledge to empower yourself to move on.

What happens in childhood lingers for a lifetime.
