Is it childhood trauma — or am I just sensitive?

You were fed, clothed, sent to school. Nothing “bad” happened. So why does your stomach drop when someone’s disappointed in you? Why do you shrink in conflict, replay conversations, or overthink every text?

Childhood trauma isn’t always loud.
It hides under perfectionism, people-pleasing, emotional numbness — and a deep fear of being “too much.”
We see it in high-functioning women all the time. Smart. Capable. Kind. And secretly exhausted from trying to hold it all together.

This blog dives into:
– Subtle signs of unresolved trauma
– How it shows up in adult relationships
– And how healing begins (even decades later)

Your nervous system adapted to survive. Now it can learn to thrive.
