Omission Trauma is just as damaging as physical abuse

In this week’s episode, we explore the concept of traumas of omission. Trauma isn’t just about the bad things that happen to us, but also the good things that never did. It’s easy to recognise acts of commission, such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. These experiences are clearly damaging, and as children, we can often stay conscious of them because we can feel and see the harm.
But what about the traumas we can’t see? Traumas of omission stem from the absence of things we needed as children, like support, connection, or protection. These forms of neglect can go unnoticed, even though they have a huge impact on our development. The wounds caused by not being cared for or protected can leave us feeling unsafe and disconnected, sometimes even harder to heal than the obvious attacks of an abuser.
Many of us have repressed these traumas, but they can follow us into adulthood, shaping our relationships and sense of self. The good news is, it’s never too late to seek help, start therapy, and begin healing.
Can you relate to the idea of trauma by omission?
