Hi Rowlane,
There is no definitive cure or method to overcome childhood trauma that works for everyone.
I have had years and sometimes decades go by that I haven’t even thought about my childhood abuse. I have had flashbacks and memories that have been triggered by other recent trauma. But I have learnt to cope.
I do have complex ptsd and I suffered more abuse in my adult years that affect me more now.
Don’t allow that trauma to affect you and don’t allow others to put you through even more trauma now and in the future. I so wished that I was stronger to walk away from abusive people and relationships when I was younger.
Good luck and all the very best. Fiatlux
