Yes. #Symptoms can appear years later because the NervousSystem may store threat responses long after the original danger has passed. Adult #relationships, relationships with #children, grief, #trauma, or the #environment can trigger the memory. This is a very common experience and this experience can be treated with the right care.

What is childhood #traumais a traumatic experience for a child if the #child #experiences the #experience as #unsafe, #terrified, #trapped, or unprotected. Normal Stress is #temporary for a child and can be resolved with the help of a #caregiver. However, if the child has experienced stress and the safety has returned, stress can help the child build effective coping strategies. The body can hold the experience of trauma and can experience the stress response long after the threat has passed.
