How to determine if parents have caused psychological trauma to their children? The most accurate method is not psychological testing; the most reliable answer is the child's feelings. As long as the child feels inexplicably oppressed, tense, suffocated, or wants to escape whenever they are close to their parents, these are the most genuine signals of trauma. It's not that the child is sensitive; it's that they have never felt safe in this relationship.
