The ACOA Trauma Syndrome: The Impact of Childhood Pain on Adult Relationships
Author: Tian Dayton, PhD, TEP
About the Book
Children who grow up in homes marked by addiction, neglect, or relational trauma carry invisible wounds that often surface in adulthood. In The ACOA Trauma Syndrome, bestselling author, psychologist, and psychodramatist Dr. Tian Dayton explores how unresolved childhood pain manifests as post-traumatic stress symptoms that damage adult relationships and fuel cycles of self-destructive behavior.
Drawing on research in psychology, neuroscience, and trauma recovery, Dr. Dayton explains how the brain and body process overwhelming experiences in childhood and how these early imprints can lead to coping strategies such as substance abuse, disordered eating, or behavioral addictions. By naming this constellation of symptoms as the ACOA Trauma Syndrome, Dayton offers clarity, validation, and hope to those who may have struggled for years without understanding the roots of their pain.
Through compassionate insight and practical tools, this book empowers adult children of alcoholics and survivors of family trauma to break free from old patterns, build healthier relationships, and create a life rooted in healing rather than survival.
