Many people believe childhood trauma only refers to extreme experiences. But in reality, trauma can also come from repeated emotional experiences that shaped the way we see ourselves, others, and relationships.
These experiences can deeply influence how we attach to people, how safe we feel in relationships, and how we respond to closeness, distance, and conflict in our love lives.
Childhood trauma doesn’t always look obvious. Sometimes it comes from painful experiences, and other times it comes from important emotional needs that were never fully met growing up.
Episode Summary
In this video, Thais Gibson explains what trauma really is, how it forms in childhood, and how different attachment styles develop as protective strategies that shape the way we show up in adult relationships.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• What trauma actually is and how it forms in childhood
• Why trauma isn’t only about what happened, but also what didn’t happen
• How Anxious Attachment develops from fears of abandonment and rejection
• Why Dismissive Avoidants learn to rely on hyper-independence
• How Fearful Avoidants develop mixed signals around love and safety
