Remember, this quiz is not a diagnostic tool. It's designed to help you reflect on your childhood experiences and consider whether you might benefit from further exploration or professional support. Emotional trauma can be subtle and complex, and even seemingly small experiences can have lasting impacts. If you have concerns about your childhood experiences, consider speaking with a mental health professional for a thorough assessment and support.
