CHILDHOOD TRAUMA SIGNS



  Substance or alcohol abuse,
Number one.
   Joins a gang and carries a
Gun.

   Makes bad decisions,
Impulsive.
   Appears nervous,
Often disruptive.

   Irresponsible with life
And finances.
   Takes a lot of risky
Chances.

   High emotions, no emotions,
No in-between.
   Always in trouble,
Can't get clean.

   Inability to process the highs
And lows.
   Running against the way the
Wind blows.

   Completely shut down,
Overreacting.
   Filled with doubt and
Self-loathing.

   Inconsistent with no
Motivation.
   Often ruins the family
Vacation.

   Full blown mania,
Deep dark depression.
   Super funny then
Full of aggression.

   Takes everything and makes
It personal.
   Always combative and
Confrontational.

   Have problems paying
Attention.
   Shows resistance to
Intervention.
