Unresolved trauma could be any experience that an individual cannot process or heal entirely. This may manifest in different forms in the daily life of individuals.
PTSD
Unresolved childhood trauma can cause adults to develop post-traumatic stress disorder, which worsens their mental health. PTSD can lead to anxiety, social withdrawal and depression as an adult.
ATTACHMENT ISSUES
Secure, Avoidant, Anxious and disorganized are four attachment styles; individuals with unresolved trauma find it difficult to have a secure attachment style.
TRUST ISSUES
When an individual's parent or caregiver failed duties in the past, it may lead the individual to develop trust issues as an adult. It makes it difficult for an individual to trust other individuals.
EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS
Another adverse effect of unresolved past trauma can lead individuals to control their emotions leading them to suffer from the inability to express feelings, anger issues and anxiety.
POOR SELF ESTEEM
It is a typical problem adult with unresolved traumas face to have low self-esteem due to continuous negative thoughts and poor self-image.
SOMATIC PROBLEMS
Individuals may regularly complain of nausea, fatigue, diarrhoea, constipation, muscle pain, and headaches without any defined root cause.
CONCLUSION
These symptoms alone can't be the only diagnostics of unresolved trauma. If you experience this, you should consult a therapist for better guidance.
