The undeniable link between early childhood stress and chronic illness #acestudy #healingtrauma

We now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the more adverse experiences a person experiences in their childhood, the more likely they are to suffer from a chronic illness later in life. Things like chronic pain, autoimmune issues, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, severe PMS, CFS, IBS, and more. This is not yet common knowledge. And it explains why our traditional “health” care system is failing so many people…and why most healing modalities (even the alternative ones!) are missing the mark. In this week’s lecture, I’ll explain the link between early childhood stress and chronic illness, break down the seminal piece of research that put this essential piece of knowledge on the scientific map (the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study), give a quick, crash course on the autonomic nervous system, and cover some powerful Q&As at the end. Full disclosure—sometimes the information covered in this week’s re-run video can be intense to take in. It might even spark up some old feelings and memories. So take your time moving through it, or as we’d say in our worlds of somatic healing: titrate the learning. Go slow. Take your time. My hope is that the truth will ultimately set you free.
