Explore unrecognized childhood trauma signs and how childhood trauma affects self-esteem, emotions, and long-term relationship patterns.
In this revealing episode, Nicola Beer uncovers the unrecognized childhood trauma signs that silently shape adult life, self-worth, and relationship patterns. Many people are unaware of how subtle emotional neglect or unmet needs in childhood have lasting impacts. Whether you're a parent seeking to protect your child, someone exploring your own emotional triggers, or preparing to become a parent in the future, this episode offers profound insight and practical guidance.
Nicola explains how childhood trauma affects self-esteem, often without any major “event” occurring. Drawing on trauma research and her work with thousands of adults and high-achievers, she explains how trauma is not only about what did happen, but also about what should have happened and didn’t — safety, love, connection, and emotional validation.
You’ll learn:
-
How unhealed childhood trauma can show up in adulthood through perfectionism, people-pleasing, anger, addiction, or overachievement
-
Subtle trauma signs like fear of failure, self-criticism, procrastination, anxiety, and imposter syndrome
-
How childhood emotional neglect impacts the nervous system and relationships long-term
-
Why some adults sabotage their happiness, avoid connection, or feel “not good enough” even after success
-
The crucial emotional needs all children have—and how missing them affects lifelong self-perception
This episode empowers you to recognize patterns, understand your reactions, and break generational cycles with awareness and compassion. Nicola also discusses the societal problem of treating trauma symptoms with medication or escape rather than healing the root causes—and offers hopeful alternatives, including body-based therapy, subconscious mind reprogramming, and inner child work.
