It is now firmly established that any illness is a systemic, multi-factorial process.
What does this mean?
We know now that illness requires a “perfect storm” of many factors in order to manifest a disease process. Some of the factors coming together in order to cause such a systemic imbalance to activate in the body are genetics, ancestral influences, environment, lifestyle, general stress levels, toxic load, and adult trauma, among many others.
There is one more very important contributor to chronic disease: your childhood experiences.
A ground-breaking study was conducted by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente in the early 1990s. It correlates early childhood trauma with an occurrence of physical and mental illness later in adulthood. It is called the “ACE Study”, short for “Adverse Childhood Experiences Study”.
It studies what happens when bad things happen to good children.
The Connection Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Illness Later in Life
The ACE Study documents the connection between adverse childhood experiences and illness and disease later on in adulthood.
The ACE study is asking ten questions about a person’s early childhood experiences. A positive answer to each question is scoring one point. A score of 4 and more on the “adverse childhood experiences” scale turns out to be a sure predictor for later occurrence of a disease. Many modern physicians now include this ACE score in their initial patient evaluation and as a basis for their treatment recommendations!Let’s see what YOUR own ACE score actually is:
In recent years, we have gathered very strong additional research on how un-conscious life-commitments and frozen inner beliefs resulting from unresolved traumatic childhood experiences may influence the development of an illness. We also have learned from modern trauma science how to release and rebalance many of these ill-making effects.
You may say, “But I have had a wonderful childhood." I frequently see situations where an adult experiences something as harmless that when it is seen from a child’s point of view was highly traumatic and emotionally damaging. That is due to the age and the relative vulnerability of the the child at the time of a trauma.
In this workshop you will learn:
- The connection between “all the bad things that can happen when you are a kid and then make you sick later in life." (From: Nadine Burke Harris, MD ”The Deepest Well” )
- Understanding how internal conflicts and family stressors are contributing to the creation of illness
- How to optimize the “mind-body connection” for wellness and longevity
And maybe most importantly...
- How to counter-act, re-balance and prevent adverse effects from childhood stressors
Intrigued? Unfamiliar with thinking about life this way?
Join us for a free talk, exercises to help create a deeper understanding of the topic and time for conversation, sharing and how to apply this to daily life.
