r/ChildhoodTrauma is a subreddit with 16k members. The community frequently discusses childhood trauma, abuse, trauma, childhood, and memories, and the most common flair used is support needed, dae (does anyone else?), venting , and was this abuse?.
You must be an adult to post here. This is a peer community where members can dump their childhood trauma without being judged or shamed. No clinicians (former, future or adjacent). No one in training to become one (including undergrad) and no one in a related field; eg social work. Rule 2 explains why we've had to take these measures. Peers share lived experience and support each other - they don't lecture, enlighten, teach or evangelize.
