Information
Can What Didn’t Happen To You As a Child Cause You to Freak Out as An Adult?
The short answer is “yes.” Childhood neglect like childhood abuse has been linked to long-term health consequences and can be behind why you “freak out” in certain situations and with certain people.
The ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) studies have also linked childhood abuse and neglect to degenerative diseases in later adulthood. The more incidences of adverse childhood abuse or neglect you experienced, the more likely you will have heart disease, diabetes, strokes, cancer or other degenerative diseases.
You can find the questionnaire they used for their research at this link and take their quiz to see how many adverse childhood experiences you had.
One weakness in this research is that they focused more on childhood abuse than childhood neglect. That is why we created the Adverse Childhood Neglect Inventory shown below.
Take the Inventory and score it to see how much hidden childhood neglect you may have that causes you to freak out. You have to answer each question so if you don’t remember what happened to you, take a guess.
Your inner knowing will help you decide whether or not neglect is part of the reason why you freak out.

How to Interpret Your Results
If you answered “yes” to 21 or more of these questions, you need to take the Freaked Out 101 Online course. Click this link to learn more about the course.The course explains the long-term effects of childhood neglect. It provides you with Self-Quizzes that enable you to see how childhood neglect can still be causing you to freak out or have relationship conflicts. Several people who took this course have given us feedback that, “This course changed my life.”
If you had five or more “yeses,” you likely had developmental traumas in your childhood caused by neglect. The higher number of “yeses,” the more severe the developmental traumas were in your childhood and the likelihood they could cause mental and physical health problems in your adult years.
If you answered “yes” to 21 or more of the questions, we would define that as “severe neglect” and would definitely suggest the Freakd Out 101 course for you.
