Childhood trauma test
Free Childhood Trauma Test
Childhood trauma often affects you in the present, without you even realising it. Many symptoms or issues that people struggle with can be traced back to what they learned as a child or the lack of support they received. If you’ve ever wondered whether experiences from childhood are still impacting your mental health, relationships, or self-esteem, my free childhood trauma test will help you understand the experiences that affect people and the symptoms that can result from childhood trauma.
What is childhood trauma?
It’s everything you experienced before you were 18 that stuck with you. Emotional neglect, any kind of abuse (emotional, physical, sexual), family chaos, losing someone, or witnessing violence - all of this counts.
These things shape how you think, feel, and show up as an adult, even if you don’t realise it.
If you were alone with these experiences and didn’t have anyone to talk to or support you (or didn’t have anyone in general as a kid) that’s particularly problematic.

What happens after the test?
Feeling weird?
That’s pretty normal. Most people simultaneously want answers whilst hoping they are being dramatic.
It often takes a while for people to believe that their childhood was traumatic. You might believe it was normal, fine or even idyllic whilst simultaneously not feeling ok. That can be confusing.
You might also find it hard to believe that your childhood has affected you. You tell yourself your problems could be resolved with more effort on your part or by trying harder.
