Talk on "Preventing relational trauma and healing emotional pain: the role of communities

Our brains know when things aren't right, & adapt - There can be no meaningful lasting progress against generational trauma & ACEs without providing the right environment for the RIGHT KIND of Neural Pruning & Growth to occur - period (ie; neurodegeneration & neurogenesis).

A strong SOC, Sense of Community & of safety as SANCTUARY are as mandatory as is turning on the oven to bake a cake - period.

Q: What does SOC have to do with anything?

A: If every other person one goes to school with,  meets, befriends, dates, works or simply interracts & speaks with has a high ACE score - then one's own brain WILL notice this & adapt - humans ARE the MOST social creatures on the planet - THIS Sociality is our main discerning quality, NOT our oppossable thumbs, bipedalism, intelligence, violence, philosophies or religions - ask any passing alien, they'll tell you. Fact.
