Help Yourself Remove the Pain of Childhood Trauma With Therapies With Anne, in Person or From the Comfort of Your Home

Childhood Trauma can range from inattentive parents and a sensitive child, to outright physical or sexual abuse and a resilient personality. Sometimes a parent isn’t capable, is busy, works a lot, or has their own ‘baggage’ from the past.  Other times alcoholism, drug addiction, relationship abuse, or the parent’s own experience as a child make a parent unavailable.

Whatever the issue or the reason, when a child doesn’t have their needs met, they apply meaning to that.  Sometimes they’ll think it’s their fault, there’s something wrong with them, or believe the world is a bad place, don’t experience feeling loved and safe. As an adult, they then may realize that their current behaviour is a result of these adverse experiences.

One very important thing is that healing one’s childhood is NOT about blaming the parent.  Most parents want what is best for their children, and most children love their parents.  This is only about healing.  When parents don’t meet their children’s needs it’s almost always because they can’t, not that they don’t want to. Almost all parents love their children and want them to do better than they have.  You can still love your parents, and change your adult behaviours.

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study

If you read the ACE(adverse childhood experiences) Study, at http://www.acestudy.org, you’ll see documented proof of the effects that childhood trauma can have on a person’s life. In the Ace Study over 17,000 Kaiser Permanente (an integrated, managed care, consortium) members participated in a study to find out how traumatic experiences during childhood affect adult health.

The centers for Disease Control and Prevention processed the questionnaires.

• 11% experienced emotional abuse.
• 28% experienced physical abuse.
• 21% experienced sexual abuse.
• 15% experienced emotional neglect.
• 10% experienced physical neglect.
• 13% witnessed their mothers being treated violently.
• 27% grew up with someone in the household using alcohol and/or drugs.
• 19% grew up with a mentally-ill person in the household.
• 23% lost a parent due to separation or divorce.
• 5% had a household member in jail or prison.

ACEs(adverse childhood experiences) seem to account for 1/2 to 2/3 of the serious problems with drug use.

They increase the likelihood that girls will have sex before 15, and that boys or young men will be more likely to impregnate a teenage girl. Adversity in childhood causes mental health issues such as depression, hallucinations and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) ACEs(adverse childhood experiences) increase the likelihood of alcohol abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction, COPD, depression, fetal death, poor health, Ischemic Heart Disease, Liver Disease, intimate partner violence, multiple sexual partners, sexually transmitted disease, smoking, obesity, suicide attempts, unintended pregnancies.
