    Here's a true hero who is revolutionizing trauma care- care for children now- not after they get incarcarated or develop serious illness.

      Agreed. An accidental hero... with humility, humanity and hope in abundance... I like him.

    I wish that this information was common knowledge. It’s such important data which proves how detrimental childhood maltreatment and abuse are and shows such a strong correlation to adult diseases. I really wish parents and people in general understood that harsh treatment and physical discipline is very destructive to a child’s mental, emotional, and physical health down the road. This man is genius and absolutely heroic! This country needs to shine a bright light on the truth of humanity.

    As someone with a deep and wide medical research background, I am so thankful to find a preventive medicine physician to address the ACES material. He's brilliant, thorough, compassionate and understands the need for our society to create change to protect our children and adults beginning as early as possible. This is what the best of American medicine looks like -- it's rare.

      In light of your background, do you have an opinion of the work of Nadine Burke Harris, MD, if you're familiar with it? Her book The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Adversity, which is directly related to Dr. Felitti's research, did a powerful job of introducing his work.

    ACE score of 7 here... Im 37, 150 pounds overweight, a single mom, used to be a smoker, I am on SSI because I can't work because of complex PTSD from childhood trauma, im agoraphobic. I have no social life, all I can do is lay in my bed, its The only place I feel safe and protected. I feel so let down by the medical community. They have all this information and are not doing shit with it. I have been to doctors, therapists, psychiatrists and it took my OWN research to discover that I have complex PTSD. Now im officially diagnosed PTSD because the DSM refuses to include complex PTSD. Im not a person, im a shell.

      Hi Nadine.
      Don't know if you will see this, but I completely relate to your post (I'm a bit older than you though). Ace score 7.
      It's a very isolating condition...
      Had a look at your channel and meditations (we use some of the same).
      Can I also recommend checking out Linda Hall's meditations on UA-cam. Very nurturing/healing.
      I've been finding them very supportive right now. Though I find I keep coming in and out of wanting/accessing self care tools. Maybe you can relate to that too?
      Also check out the talks/webinars that 'South Pacific Private' offer on UA-cam, about healing CPTSD/codependency.
      Wishing you healing x

      Don't give up ... there is real help on the way due to the work and writings of many more legitimate voices on the benefits of certain psychoactive drugs in combating PTSD and complex PTSD --- read about them. Your local physician, therapist, psychiatrist and pharmaceutical company will fight this because the treatment is inexpensive, short and will take billions away from the awful medical system in place in the US. CO, OR and other states have chosen to decriminalize these drugs --- that's a great first step. As more people come forward with their success stories as these become not just decriminalized but legalized the dam controlled by big money will begin to crack and then break.

      You're WRONG. Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a drug racket, and a mechanism of social control. It's 21st century Phrenology, with potent neurotoxins. Psychiatry has done, and continues to do, FAR MORE HARM than good. The DSM is a catalog of billing codes. It's all FRAUD.

    This is such an important story. I wondered whatever happened to her--she was a friend of mine. I suspected the childhood abuse, but didn't know it was with her grandfather. She told me some very profound things about why she gained the weight back. TY, TY for your studies. It's slow going, but ... it's going. Fingers crossed.

    Look up the ACE study. Famous Doctor Who specialized in treating obese patients conducted a study over many years and 4000 people discovered that unhealed childhood trauma often sexual abuse/incest in families creates children should grow up with permanent obesity due to the body trying to protect itself from further abuse. Even when these patients lost weight through the doctors treatment within one year they would gain hundreds of pounds back. Why? Because the body cannot let go of the protective layer until the childhood trauma has been processed and healed. This is an emotional treatment it is not intellectual just talking about problems it is processed by feeling the emotions. Ironically addictions to such things as food help us to avoid feeling any emotions that are uncomfortable.
