“Childhood trauma is not a life sentence. Extreme emotional pain doesn’t guarantee emotional pain for the rest of your life.”
- Rachel Hollis
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic events that happen when a person is under the age of 18. When left unresolved, they significantly impact a person’s ability to function into adulthood. In Texas, at least 19% of people have experienced at least 2 of these events during childhood.
At SUN Behavioral Health Houston, we help people in the community navigate their traumas and find healing daily. This includes educating them on understanding the impact these events have had on their daily lives, whether they have actively noticed them or not. Today, we are going to discuss childhood trauma and its lingering effects when left untreated.
