Gone to the Woods: Surviving a Lost Childhood
Childhood is a time of innocence and wonder, a time to explore the world and learn about oneself. Sadly, for some children, childhood is anything but idyllic. They may be subjected to abuse, neglect, or other forms of trauma that can have a profound impact on their developing minds and bodies.
Children who have experienced trauma often feel lost and alone. They may withdraw from the world, or act out in ways that are destructive to themselves and others. They may struggle with anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. They may also have difficulty forming healthy relationships and achieving success in school and work.

The Impact of Childhood Trauma
Childhood trauma can have a profound impact on a child's development. It can affect their physical, emotional, and mental health. It can also lead to problems in school and work, and in relationships.
The following are some of the short-term and long-term effects of childhood trauma:
- Physical health problems, such as headaches, stomachaches, and fatigue
- Emotional problems, such as anxiety, depression, and mood swings
- Mental health problems, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Problems in school and work, such as difficulty concentrating, poor grades, and job loss
- Problems in relationships, such as difficulty forming attachments and maintaining healthy relationships
Childhood trauma can also have a negative impact on a child's brain development. Research has shown that children who have experienced trauma have smaller hippocampi, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for memory and learning. They also have larger amygdalae, which is the part of the brain that is responsible for fear and anxiety.
