All I know is I am 48 years old and still not over my childhood. It was pure hell. I don't know how to ever get over it. Been in therapy for years and decades and they just are not helpful at all.

I think this is a good introduction to ACEs. One huge factor that is missed and not contested is the anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity that exists in society, and in structures that are mentioned in this presentation, such as foster care. How about using actual terms like the "prison industrial complex" that works to break apart Black and Indigenous families and works in parallel with other oppressive structures? When talking about poverty, it's crucial to discuss how Black and other racialized families live in poverty due to how our society is structured and ultimately built on the foundation of white supremacy.

I would also argue that racism should be considered an ACE, factoring in the personal experiences of young people and how racist structures work against their families. More racialized families are ripped apart in the foster care system, imprisoned, etc. What about kids who grew up in residential schools? That is one hell of an adverse childhood experience, done at the hands of the government, social workers, the church. I think it's a huge disservice not to talk about who in society gets disproportionately affected especially in a field that capitalizes off of their suffering and death.

20:58 Soooo, I was listening to this as I'm just puttering around, cleaning... And I mumbled something (I shall not repeat, lol) and then you said, "I agree, Dori"

And I was like 😳😳😳

My name is Dori, and no I'm not enrolled, I actually just love watching your videos and learning. LoL But that soooo caught me off-guard!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very informative video. I learned alot about the neurochemical link to behaviour and also illnesses in later life

[lljl]

My favorite person, Dr. Snipes! ☺ great video, as always, I love them, because they're very informative!

[exarard]

About sociopaths and/or psychopaths, a new allCEU presentation would be so wonderful, dear Mrs. Snipes. Thank you for this and all the other, very informative and thorough presentations.

[dera_ng]

Thank you so much! This really explained much about the chemical part of my experiences and why I'm acting the way I am. I honestly wish I could afford counselling or therapy because I have theoretical knowledge of what is happening with/to me, however I don't have the skills to treat myself and make my life even remotely better....

Be it as it may, that you so much for putting out this video! I honestly think/hope that it brings me one step closer to understanding the solution [or what the solution] to my present day Love Addiction/Codependency and Depression/Anxiety disorder issues.

Nothing changes if No-Thing changes
TIME is needed, sufficient time
The need we all have in common is the desire for the nightmares and daymares come to a halt. Take the steps EA

Aw! I see that the psychoanalytic theory of mental and psychosomatic disorders is making its triomphal coming back with that valuable research. So psychodynamics therapies have still a long life! Isn't?Very instructive vid! Thank you !

Those figures suggest a lot of interpersonal conflict between adults.

Perhaps usa men need to reconsider how they treat women.

[DocSnipes]

There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for trauma. Unfortunately in counseling it seems that many clinicians focus almost exclusively on thoughts and maybe relationship skills. Do you think it is important to also consider things like pain, sleep problems, and hormone imbalances which may be caused by trauma and HPA-Axis dysregulation and could also cause HPA-Axis dysregulation and worsen symptoms?

It kinda bothers me that an arbitrary restrictive definition of aces is being used here. It is ridiculous to think that only family issues cause trauma in kids, as presented here. Bullying is a huge problem for many people, still decades into their lives, yet it mostly goes untouched in the trauma field because everyone only refers to the original ACE study. Just because the abusers are peers does not mean it's not traumatic. Same thing for systemic impacts from poverty, ableism, sexism, racism, etc. It seems that a lot of people are not receiving proper treatment because the field doesn't recognise trauma beyond arbitrary restrictive ACE's from a couple decades ago. The original researcher himself has stated it was a limited definition used for the purposes of expediency in a study. Some in the mental health field have expanded the ACES basket (Nadine Burke Harris for example) but it seems as if many still limit it To the old criteria used in that study. Why is that so?

Please do a video on trauma of family members that have dogs or other animals around which cause trauma to other family members .

You know what if I lived somewhere else coed supportive and positive you would be surprised how fast I lighten up

[StewartCoad]

My mother was so abusive that if she had been taken away to prison it would have been one of the best things that could have happened to me as a child.

So, can excitatiory neurotransmitter tolerance cause addiction to chaos? 42:40 got it. Thanks.

This presentation is very upsetting to me in the first 10 minutes. Your industry has no clue how to prevent these things from happening (the statement in the upper right hand corner of the slide on ACEs), and likely a huge reason it continues unabated. Violence (not just in families, and not just physical) is the precursor to the other two categories, so precious time is wasted by not preventing the first category.

It infuriates me that your, the teaching, and medical industries send kids (and their parents) back to the violent home.

I'll watch the rest of the video, but I'm not expecting anything better.

It troubles me to see so much focus on the physical, almost a disconnection from the emotional and survival mechanisms ... AFTER a person initiatied (who wasn't prevented from inflicting) harm onto either another adult or child in the home, or the child itself (the one collecting ACEs).
