In this episode Cassy and I cover the ACE score checklist. Cassy goes over each item that gives you a weighted outcome of having an adverse childhood experience. For example, anyone with an ACE score greater than 4 is considered to be ask risk for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual problems. We also discuss chapter 1 of, "The Body Keeps the Score" by Besser Van Der Kolk. In this chapter we discuss losing our sense of self, numbing ourselves with addictions and distractions, feeling "stuck" in the past, and living with cPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) and the other misdiagnosis' we have received in the past. Next week we will be discussing how we are addicted to our trauma.
