Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACE)
Adverse Childhood Experiences (i.e. ACE) are traumatic experiences during childhood that have potentially harmful consequences in adulthood. Children experience trauma in various ways. They can have Big T traumas such as abuse and neglect and Little t traumas such as witnessing someone else’s trauma, a routine dental procedure, or negative interaction with a teacher. Whether they are big T or little t, ACEs leave a lasting impression.

What We Know
Higher ACE scores are associated with increased risks of physical health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
We also know that people with higher ACE scores are more likely to experience emotion regulation difficulties such as depression and anxiety leading to decreased performance at work.
Let’s come back for a minute to the present day. We also know, perhaps more prevalent than ever, that our lives don’t have to STAY that way.
We are all a product of our past…
Can We Change It?
As you can see, our early experiences shape who we are, and most of us have had one or more Adverse Childhood Experiences. Unfortunately, research shows the more ACEs we have the worse the mental and physical health outcomes we are likely to experience.
It’s not all bad news though when we become aware of something that is affecting our health we can do something about it.
Even if it means changing the past, and rREST is an effective way to do just that.
