The impact of developmental trauma is very important for all therapists and mental health practitioners to have some understanding of. The symptoms can be similar to those experienced with PTSD, and also include shame, blocked trust and pervasive relational fear. This fear and anxiety can be hidden under a veneer of angry, aggressive & controlling behaviours. Developmentally traumatised people can struggle with loving and being loved. These children and adults can be experienced as ‘difficult’; becoming labelled and stigmatised within the mental health services or criminal justice system.
