Abundant research over the last two decades clearly shows that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) put adults at much greater risk for many, many psychological and medical conditions. ACEs include all types of abuse and neglect; living in a home where there is a missing parent or someone who is mentally ill, suicidal, violent, or addicted to drugs; and other forms of childhood upheaval. ACEs lead to conditions ranging from depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, suicidality, and drug abuse to autoimmune disorders, obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, and even cancer and heart disease. ACEs may well be called the number one unaddressed public health problem because of the suffering they cause. Many people suffer needlessly for decades, perhaps not understanding the root cause of their suffering, nor the healing options. Now there is a practical, powerful guide to heal the hidden wounds caused by ACEs. I\u2019d like to explain how this workbook came to be and tell you a little about its contents.<\/p>\n

As a military veteran who specialized in stress, trauma, and resilience at the University of Maryland\u2019s School of Public Health for decades, I\u2019ve observed that adults who appear outwardly normal often carry painful hidden wounds from their earlier years. Knowing that emotional suffering predicts a range of medical illnesses, I developed and tested skills-based<\/em> courses to reduce such suffering\u2014while also optimizing health and performance. We found that this training reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger, while increasing resilience, happiness, self-esteem, optimism, and curiosity. In the meantime, I developed a resilience training program for high-risk groups such as cops, firefighters, and the military to prepare them emotionally for the difficult challenges they face. These groups are typically well trained tactically, but not emotionally, and usually have experienced more ACEs than their civilian peers.<\/p>\n

During this time, Dr. Vincent Felitti tested the notion that the effects of ACEs accumulate and set people up for enormous suffering in adulthood. Both his and subsequent research have firmly established that ACEs predict myriad disorders that doctors and mental health professionals so commonly treat today. However, as Dr. Felitti has observed, too often we treat the smoke (the symptoms) without treating the cause (the hidden wounds from ACEs). <\/p>\n

People often ask, \u201cAm I stuck with this suffering? Is there anything that can help me feel normal? What can I do to heal? How do I find the right help?\u201d I came to realize that there was a dire need for a clear guide to help people heal those hidden wounds from the early years. People need to know that they do not have to suffer for decades. There are many effective healing and coping skills to try. The Adverse Childhood Experiences Recovery Workbook<\/a><\/em> explains a wide variety of very effective, practical skills. These skills are based on recent findings in neuroscience, attachment, traumatic stress, and resilience\u2014put together under one cover. Recent advances in understanding the brain\u2019s response to traumatic stress indicate that traditional psychological approaches that emphasize thinking and talking are usually not the best starting point for healing. Instead, this workbook first utilizes body-centered and attachment-based imagery strategies before talking\/thinking strategies are tried. And when additional help is needed, the workbook shows how to find the right professional help.<\/p>\n

What can you expect?<\/strong> Practicing the principles and skills in this workbook is likely to greatly reduce your suffering, improve happiness, and help you improve your mental and physical health and functioning generally. If you are a helping professional, this workbook will give you many powerful tools to help your clients heal.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
