Free eBook: The Unacknowledged Trauma

How your early life may still affect you today

We all know that big trauma can affect people deeply, be hard to let go of, and have an ongoing effect on relationships.

But what about the experiences that happen before you can talk or remember—when you were a baby?

The Unacknowledged Trauma explores how your experiences before birth, during birth, and throughout your early childhood may influence the way you think, feel, respond, and relate to others as an adult.

What you’ll discover

In this free eBook, Annette explores:

  • The importance of early attachment and emotional connection
  • How childhood experiences can shape unconscious patterns
  • Why you may feel anxious, vigilant, angry, disconnected, or unable to trust
  • How early experiences may affect relationships and emotional wellbeing
  • Ways to begin becoming free from old trauma responses
The book also looks at topics including emotional development, separation, adoption, post-natal depression, premature birth, witnessing violence, sleep issues, and Annette’s own personal story.

This eBook may be helpful if you:

    • Struggle with anxiety or overthinking
    • Find yourself people pleasing or avoiding conflict
    • Feel easily rejected, criticised, or overwhelmed
    • Repeat patterns that no longer serve you
    • Want to better understand yourself and your relationships
    • Feel that something from your past is still affecting you
    These patterns are not your fault. Many began as ways of coping and surviving when you were very young. The eBook offers a gentle introduction to understanding where they may have come from.

You don’t need to relive the past to move forward

Trauma is not only about what happened to you. It is also about the effect the experience had inside you and the meaning you made from it.

In her work, Annette focuses gently on what is happening in your life now. You choose what you share, and you do not need to pull apart or relive traumatic events.
