Work with a trauma focused therapist
Therapists can help adult survivors work through childhood trauma through different modalities. Each individual is unique, and what is effective for someone else may not work for you, and vice versa. Therapists seek to understand your healing goals and help create a safe space for you to explore the trauma and its impact on the present day you, and ensure you are not re-traumatising yourself during the process. From personal experience, the best therapists are results driven and give ongoing feedback on your progress, so you know you are heading in the right direction.
