SURPRISING SYMPTOMS OF UNRESOLVED CHILDHOOD TRAUMA IN ADULTS
We can carry the weight of our childhood experiences, even if we don't (or can't yet) admit it. Ignoring it doesn't make it disappear.
- Perfectionism: You look to your achievements for self-worth and feel a strong need to be in control.
- Hypervigilance: You are constantly on high alert, looking for potential threats, even in safe environments. You are easily startled.
- Unexplained Physical Symptoms: Persistent pain, digestive problems, or unexplained physical symptoms that leave doctors puzzled in search of a cause.
- Difficulty with Intimacy: You struggle with forming and maintaining close relationships due to trust issues or fear of vulnerability.
- Persistent Shame and Guilt: You experience intense feelings of shame and guilt for many things in your life... even when something isn't your fault.
- Numbing Through Substances: Do you consistently use drugs or alcohol every weekend (or nightly) because you need them to relax and decompress?
DOES LIFE FEEL LIKE A CONSTANT ROLLERCOASTER?
You feel unfulfilled, overwhelmed, frustrated, and emotional.
Small things set you off.
You feel the weight of the world on your shoulders.
You struggle with constant health issues, and doctors may not be able to give you any answers. You are physically exhausted, and you’re body always hurts.
I’ve been there.
These are signs of unresolved childhood trauma in adults. In the quiet corners of your heart, you’ve carried the echoes of the past – the whispers of childhood trauma that linger like shadows.
It creates a sense loneliness and isolation, and lead to the tears that often fall in the stillness of night.
A BROKEN FOUNDATION
Untreated trauma from childhood leads you to see life differently, and your body carries the unspoken echoes of your past.
Your body has adapted to being on high alert constantly, expecting danger even in everyday situations.
This disruption affects every part of your life, from the choices you make to your relationships and even your physical health.
The physical symptoms of childhood trauma in adults is a very real problem that doctors aren’t addressing. There is a disconnect between your brain, body, and nervous system.
TRADITIONAL HEALING METHODS CAN DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD
Traditional healing methodologies of Western Medicine separate the mind and the body, and doctors don’t consider how emotions impact your overall well-being.
This approach is extremely problematic and counterproductive, especially for complex trauma survivors.
Adding fuel to the fire, because of high cortisol levels running through your body for prolonged periods, trauma survivors are at higher risk of developing health issues, including autoimmune diseases, rare conditions, and other physical disorders.
Doctors often medically gaslight trauma survivors without recognizing the mind-body connection, leaving them feeling crazy, hopeless, and frustrated.
Hi, I'm Kristina Bentle.
I created the Mindful Evolution Program...
SURVIVOR OF CHILDHOOD ABUSE & NEGLECT, WIDOWED AT 24, SUICIDE ATTEMPT SURVIVOR, DISABLED MOM, CHRONIC PAIN WARRIOR.
My journey has not been simple by any means. I have been through the depths of hell and came out the other side to see the beauty of life.
I struggled for years.
Everything changed when I finally discovered... how trauma had shaped my life.
When I discovered trauma-informed care, things began to really change. Then, I found yet another hurdle, trauma-informed health providers are few and far between, and they still only address one piece of the trauma puzzle at a time.
I was determined to help others so they didn't have to struggle like I did. That's where the Mindful Evolution Program was born. I'm thrilled to share it with you now, to help you find the tools to recovery in one place.

Visit WebsiteFrequently Asked Questions About Healing Complex Trauma
Adults heal from childhood trauma by recognizing its impact on their lives and taking intentional steps toward recovery. It's like mending a broken vase. First, you must acknowledge the cracks, just as acknowledging the trauma is essential.
Then it's critical to find the right trauma-informed care. This can be difficult because many Western Medicine practitioners are not trauma-informed. This means you need to be an advocate for yourself and your healing journey.
You can do research to find trauma-informed healing methods, or you can join our community and find all the tools and resources in one place.
Healing from childhood trauma without therapy is possible, although it's like taking a challenging journey without a map.
The key is finding the RIGHT kind of therapy. Most healing modalities aren't trauma-informed, this means they could potentially make you worse. (CBT is a prime example)
Trauma-informed approaches, such as EMDR, can be highly beneficial for those who've experienced childhood trauma. When you pair therapy with valuable resources like the Mindful Evolution Membership, you're assembling all the essential elements for a smoother path toward healing, like fitting together the pieces of a puzzle to see the bigger picture.
Complex trauma refers to exposure to multiple or prolonged traumatic events, whether in childhood or adulthood, resulting in emotional and psychological difficulties.
CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a specific diagnosis within complex trauma, encompassing symptoms of traditional PTSD along with additional emotional and relational challenges.
Developmental trauma, on the other hand, specifically pertains to trauma experienced during critical childhood development stages when basic needs for safety and support are not consistently met, leading to long-term emotional and cognitive issues.
Essentially, complex trauma is the broader category, CPTSD is a specific subtype, and developmental trauma focuses on early childhood experiences' lasting impact.
Untreated PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) from childhood can have significant and lasting effects on a person's life.
These effects may include persistent anxiety, recurring nightmares or flashbacks, emotional numbing, difficulty concentrating, strained relationships, and a heightened startle response.
Additionally, it can contribute to issues like depression, substance abuse, and physical health problems.
Breaking generational trauma is a powerful endeavor. It involves recognizing patterns of trauma within your family, acknowledging its impact, and taking proactive steps to heal and prevent its continuation.
This is what you'll learn in the Mindful Evolution Membership Community.
You will learn to develop healthy coping strategies so you can teach your kids the same.
By breaking the negative cycles within yourself, you can create a healthier path for future generations, ensuring they inherit resilience rather than trauma.
Unresolved trauma can affect parenting profoundly. Picture it as carrying a heavy backpack while trying to guide someone else.
The weight of unhealed wounds can make it hard to be emotionally present for your child. It can lead to emotional outbursts and taking out your frustrations on your children.
Also, unresolved trauma can pass on negative patterns to your child. This can perpetuate the cycle of trauma through generations.
To break this cycle, seeking help and healing is crucial. Therapy and support groups can help you unpack and heal, allowing you to be the parent your child needs! Their is absolutely hope, don't give up.
Healing subconscious childhood trauma involves a gradual process of self-reflection, mindfulness, and support. And doing so in a way that your brain and nervous system can handle.
Traditional methods often overlook the fact that childhood trauma survivors possess hypersensitive nervous systems and buried subconscious memories. To heal effectively, a more careful and deliberate approach is needed. This entails gently and strategically addressing the trapped subconscious patterns while ensuring that the process doesn't overwhelm your sensitive nervous system.
In the Mindful Evolution Community, we use science-backed methods to help childhood trauma survivors release trapped emotions and negative patterns.
Symptoms of developmental trauma in adults can manifest as emotional dysregulation (emotional outbursts, crying spells), difficulty forming and maintaining healthy relationships, low self-esteem, chronic feelings of emptiness, self-destructive behaviors, and challenges with trust and intimacy.
These symptoms often stem from unmet emotional and safety needs during critical childhood developmental stages, impacting a person's overall well-being and functioning in adulthood.
Childhood trauma can have a profound impact on adults. It often leads to emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. It can also affect relationships, causing difficulties with trust and intimacy.
Additionally, childhood trauma may contribute to self-destructive behaviors, substance abuse, and physical health issues.
Overall, its effects can persist throughout adulthood, highlighting the need for support and healing for those who have experienced it.
Childhood trauma can be triggered by various distressing events or experiences, such as physical or emotional abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, accidents, loss of a loved one, or any situation that overwhelms a child's ability to cope.
These events can leave a lasting impact, and even seemingly unrelated situations or sensory cues can trigger memories or emotional responses related to the trauma. Identifying and addressing these triggers is crucial in the healing process.
