Studies examining poor childhood experiences revealed childhood trauma linked to a negative impact on mental health. Therefore, the objective of this study is to comprehend and investigate the subjective childhood experiences of the affected children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative approach was adopted to explore the lived experiences with their consequences. The study employed a purposeful sampling technique to choose adolescents who had encountered abuse and were capable of articulating their experiences with clarity. In-depth interviews were carried out with 18 adolescents aged 13\u201318 years, all from childcare homes (mean = 16, SD = 1.46). The transcriptions of these interviews were analyzed using a thematic approach.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The analysis indicated that the children experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, rape, abandonment, and neglected home environment. The children took responsibility for the abuse directed toward them and were also engaged in substance use. They further reported experiencing negative effects on their behavioral functions (anger, isolation), cognitive function (difficulty in concentration, low academic performances), emotional function (fear, helplessness), social function (withdrawal, mutism), and biological function (sleeplessness, lack of appetite) due to the adverse events in their life. Perceived needs, for instance, emotional, social, and educational support and positive relationship, as well as growth from traumatic experiences were stated by the children.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings of the study could have practical implications for clinicians, aiding in the understanding of low emotional expression and unexplained behavior among individuals and assisting in addressing the underlying vulnerability to facilitate their overcoming of these challenges. Additionally, it is suggested that a comprehensive strategy be used that addresses stigma, cultural values, and social norms in addition to legal issues to address the problem.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02537176241228032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,24]],"date-time":"2024-02-24T06:30:56Z","timestamp":1708756256000},"page":"535-543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Surviving the Storm: Exploring Lives Through Personal Stories of Childhood Trauma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"46","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3132-2286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kinnari","family":"Kashyap","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Psychology, Sikkim University, Gangtok, Sikkim, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satyananda","family":"Panda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dept. of Psychology, Sikkim University, Gangtok, Sikkim, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2467-0044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bishal","family":"Bhuyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Commerce and Management, Assam Downtown University, Guwahati, Assam, India."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2051-5545.2010.tb00297.x"},{"key":"bibr2-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-7610.2012.02608.x"},{"key":"bibr3-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2019.01.020"},{"key":"bibr4-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(19)30145-8"},{"key":"bibr5-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-019-2373-3"},{"key":"bibr6-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12646-017-0392-z"},{"key":"bibr7-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2468-2667(17)30118-4"},{"key":"bibr8-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(15)60147-7"},{"key":"bibr9-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15299732.2014.867577"},{"key":"bibr10-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15374416.2012.660689"},{"key":"bibr11-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psychres.2014.07.027"},{"key":"bibr12-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4614-9608-3_37"},{"key":"bibr13-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/schbul\/sbv175"},{"key":"bibr14-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/schbul\/sbx161"},{"key":"bibr15-02537176241228032","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291714001561"},{"key":"bibr16-02537176241228032","unstructured":"Fabian R.
