Summary:
"The link between Adverse
Childhood
Experiences (ACEs) and adult illnesses such as heart disease, autoimmune disease, and cancer--and
how
to cope with these emotional traumas and even
heal
from them. The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults, it also affects our physical health, longevity, and overall wellbeing. Our parents' chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent
can
leave permanent, physical "fingerprints" on our brains. When children encounter sudden or chronic adversity, excessive stress hormones cause powerful changes in the body, altering body chemistry. The developing immune system and brain react to this chemical barrage by permanently resetting our stress response to "high," which in turn
can
have a devastating impact on our mental and physical health. Stories from people who have recognized and overcome their adverse experiences, why some children are more immune to stress than others, and why women are at particular risk.
How
you
can
reset
your
biology--and help
your
loved ones find ways to
heal
