In order to understand why his obesity patients were dropping out of a successful weight loss program, Dr. Vincent Felitti dived into their medical records and interviews for clues. What he found launched a several year study that has enrolled more than 17,000 people. These patients were talking about incest, abuse and neglect, extreme adversity in their childhoods.
The Centers for Disease Control and Dr. Felitti with Kaiser Permanente launched a study to look at adverse childhood events and their effect on health and longevity over the lifespan.
What is an adverse childhood event? For the purposes of the study it is:
- sexual abuse
- physical abuse
- emotional abuse
- physical neglect
- emotional neglect
- a home where the mother was treated violently
- substance abuse in the home
- mental illness in the home
- parental separation or divorce
- one or more parents imprisoned
Count up the categories that apply to you. That gives you your ACE score. Anything above 4 predisposes people to substance abuse, dysfunction and health issues among other things. People with the highest scores died on average 20 years earlier than people with low ACE scores. (For more information about the mechanisms of these effects see my earlier blog posts on the HPA Axis.)
You can check out more information about the study here. Highly recommended reading for everyone: those of us who suffered difficult childhoods, caregivers, treaters and public policy setters.
This can feel overwhelming as we delve into the truth. The good news is that we are beginning to finally come to terms with the widespread effects of trauma and PTSD and the need to heal from it!
I like this blog so much same as the post of trauma expert ny, keep it up!

DeleteMy name is Lisa Amy From USA. I am really pleased with this service Dr. Sam render to me. I am one of those people who said, “I’ll never call a psychic or a magician or whatever” to help me with my problems – least of all my love problems, but I reached the point where I knew I needed some guidance, and I’m so glad I found this man called Dr. Sam I never in a million years would have thought I’d be writing a letter like this, but when I nearly lost Andrew in one of our stupid, fights (he broke up with me), I thought I had lost everything.i cry all day and think that he will never come back to me again.I read a testimony by a man called Taylor Borg about him saying that how Dr. Sam helps him to get back is EX wife within 48 hours.I quickly email him. He did a (Lover spell) for me. 48 hours later, my (Ex-Boyfriend) came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal and our love is now stronger that he can't do without being with me. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again. Dr. Sam is the best online spell caster that is powerful and genuine. And when I was at my most desperate, he didn’t take advantage of me. You performed a very good service for a person in true need. I don’t know how you did it, or how this magic works, but all I know is, IT WORKS!! Andrew and i are happily back together, and I’ll always be grateful to Dr. Sam email him for any kinds of help is very capable and reliable for help. His blog> https://supremespellcast.blogspot.com

Great blog! I found your site from a writer's group at LinkedIn. I'm interested in some aspects of PTSD. And maybe how writing can help.
ReplyDeleteMy 10 year old daughter and I witnessed a drunk driving accident back in January of this year. The truck passed us, going about a 100 and when we turned the next curve, it had flipped. It sounds horrible, but I wish I had stayed in the car and call 911. But I got out to help, didn't shut my door, the other driver's bloody dog jumped in my car, so my daughter got out. She found the dead passenger that had been thrown from the truck into the ditch.
I've taken her to a couple different counselors, one with the church and one with the school, both who she had relationships with and trusted. She clammed up as soon as they tried to get her to talk about it. She seems OK, I'm just so scared that something will cause her to break down if we don't deal with it. The drunk driver lives down the road from us and he is out on bail...he only spent an hour in jail. (And that starts MY issues! Ugg!) I'm always wondering if today is the day that we'll run into him at the grocery store or whatever.
Anyways, if you ever blog about children and PTSD again, ways for them to cope and express themselves, I'd love to reblog it. You can find me at www.MichelleAlanis.com. And thanks for listening!!
Thanks, Michelle! I think writing can be tremendously helpful to process trauma! As for your daughter, perhaps verbal processing is not what she needs. You might consider EMDR or art therapy for her. Sand tray sessions can also be miraculous with traumatized kids. I will definitely blog on this! Blessings! Sue

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
