Is Toxic Stress Impacting Your Health?
A long time client is a telling example of how alarmed aloneness and childhood adversity impact our health.
At the young age of 38 she suffered chronic exhaustion, immune system and metabolic imbalances. A shocking breast cancer diagnosis led to a double mastectomy.
The more ACE’s or adverse experiences a person has in childhood, the greater their risk for physical, mental, and relational health challenges across their lifetime. Early experiences of instability, neglect, or lack of support can shape:
Attachment patterns
Emotional reactivity
Sense of safety with others
Moreover, people with multiple ACEs have significantly higher rates of:
Cancer, heart and lung disease
Obesity and metabolic conditions
Depression, anxiety, mental health challenges
Smoking, alcoholism and addictions
Because ACE research shows that trauma lives in both the body and the nervous system—and is deeply shaped by relational experience—approaches that combine body-based release (TRE®), relational healing (Resonance Healing™), and communication skills may be uniquely effective in supporting your healing path.
