“Do I Have Childhood Trauma?”
Take Our Adverse Childhood Experiences Test to Find Out
Believe it or not, many addictions, eating disorders, intimacy disorders, and mental health disorders are rooted in underlying past trauma—including trauma from our childhoods. According to Frontiers in Psychiatry, people with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) scores of 5 or greater are seven to 10 times more likely to report illicit drug addiction compared to people without ACEs. In other words, the negative experiences you dealt with as a kid can still affect you today, even if they were decades ago.
If you think you may be impacted by childhood trauma in your own life, it’s important to get help before it leads to unhealthy coping mechanisms—and addictions—like drugs or alcohol. And if you are already struggling with any of the challenges mentioned earlier, addressing your trauma directly will be necessary to your lasting healing.
By completing our free childhood trauma test, you’ll get a clearer picture of any potential childhood trauma from your past and its influence on your present. Armed with this knowledge, you can take the first step toward healing your trauma and any co-occurring disorders.
What are Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as potentially traumatic events that occur at ages 0-17. These can be experiences that directly affect you as a child or events that undermine your sense of safety, stability, and bonding. Common examples of adverse childhood experiences include:
- Physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
- Neglect
- Loss of a loved one
- Divorce
- An incarcerated relative
- Living with a substance abuser
Symptoms and Signs of Childhood Trauma in Adults

- Low self-esteem

- Self-destructive behaviors, including procrastination and perfectionism
- Anxiety
