**Resumen:**

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of childhood trauma on adult psychological well-being through a longitudinal analysis of participants’ life experiences. A sample of 300 adults were assessed for childhood trauma experiences using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and their current psychological well-being was measured using the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). The results indicated a significant negative correlation between childhood trauma and psychological well-being, highlighting the long-lasting effects of early-life adversity on adult mental health. Additionally, the role of resilience was found to moderate the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological well-being, suggesting that individuals with higher levels of resilience may be better equipped to cope with the negative effects of early trauma. These findings underscore the importance of early intervention and support for individuals who have experienced childhood trauma to prevent long-term psychological consequences.

Childhood trauma is a significant risk factor for negative psychological outcomes in adulthood. The impact of adverse childhood experiences on mental health has been well-documented in the literature, with numerous studies highlighting the lasting effects of early trauma on adult well-being. The present study sought to further explore this relationship by examining the influence of childhood trauma on adult psychological well-being over time.

A sample of 300 adults aged 25-45 participated in the study, completing the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) to assess their experiences of childhood trauma and the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) to measure their current psychological well-being. Participants were followed up annually for a period of five years to track changes in their psychological well-being over time.

The results of the study revealed a significant negative correlation between childhood trauma and psychological well-being, indicating that individuals who had experienced higher levels of childhood trauma reported lower levels of psychological well-being in adulthood. This finding supports existing research on the enduring impact of early-life adversity on mental health outcomes.

Furthermore, the study found that resilience played a moderating role in the relationship between childhood trauma and psychological well-being. Specifically, individuals with higher levels of resilience were better able to buffer the negative effects of childhood trauma on their psychological well-being. This highlights the importance of promoting resilience-building interventions for individuals who have experienced childhood trauma to help mitigate the long-term psychological consequences.

In conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the importance of early intervention and support for individuals who have experienced childhood trauma. By addressing the long-lasting effects of early trauma and promoting resilience, mental health professionals can help mitigate the negative impact of childhood adversity on adult psychological well-being.

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, childhood trauma has a significant impact on adult psychological well-being, with individuals who have experienced early-life adversity being at greater risk for negative mental health outcomes. The findings of this study highlight the importance of resilience in buffering the negative effects of childhood trauma on psychological well-being. By cultivating resilience and providing early interventions for individuals who have experienced trauma, mental health professionals can help promote positive outcomes and prevent long-term psychological consequences.
