Re: Basic goodness
Hi Randy, I listen to the same people (Pema Chodron and Tara Brach) as well as Cheri Huber and Rick Hanson and find they all help. That said, when "in it" it is very hard to hold the wisdom or to even feel like it's possible to let it in. It's like a physical resistance or a tightness or I'm just stuck in anxiety and NOTHING gets in. I find this frustrating because my brain knows this is a pattern and all but it doesn't mean I can always switch or get to yoga and do the slower things that...

Re: Basic goodness
Christina, Donna & Others: Perhaps there is a way to combine the privacy of the "ACE'd the ACE test advisory group on Facebook" and this one so that conversations can be private? I agree with Jane that public conversations can challenge/change stigma but also that privacy is sometimes needed for people to feel comfortable enough to share. Donna, I don't need it to be the same group. it just seems we have some interest here, some interest on Facebook and a good number of people...

Re: finding healthcare providers who specialize in ACEs
Don, there are a number of ACE initiatives going on the Philadelphia area. I couldn't tell from the zipcode on your member profile where in "eastern Pennsylvania" you are. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is apparently supporting some of those initiatives. If you go to the box in the upper right corner of the aces connection page, "alerts" and "dialogues" are boxed beside one another. You could identify other "eastern Pennsylvania" members by going to the "Members" column in the darker blue...

Re: My place in ACEs?
Hi Janie, It sounds like you have used your personal tragic experience in a creative and generous way. I love the idea of putting resources out there for kids who may be in the midst of their own ACEs. I have only begun my journey, as I am still absorbing all the information in "Childhood Disrupted". I knew about the psychological consequences of my own ACEs, but it never occurred to me that my sudden onset of health problems as I turned fifty this year could have any relationship to my...

Re: My place in ACEs?
The work is wonderful and important and I wonder if the writing alone is one part of your great success as I know it can be one powerful and healthful tool. I also wonder if your book, though geared towards kids, wouldn't be good for adults. There's a book being put together (out in one month) called Trigger Points for survivors of abuse and it's about how we parent. A lot of the pieces are about learning to parent ourselves and raise our emotional selves. I know I've learned so much about...

Re: Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal
I look forward to reading your article Donna! I know many parents who want this info. There's a group over at Trigger Points Anthology with a book coming out in November about parenting as a survivor. It was going to be about parenting as a sexual abuse survivor but they expanded it to be a survivor of childhood abuse. I'm interested in reading those essays. Not enough is written, in my opinion on that topic. There is how to parent when you weren't parented well. There is also the...

How To?
My position in the Hamilton County Schools was a position that many of the ACE group would envy. My work was directly with teacher, student, family and the courts/jails/police. If a teacher had a problem with a student very often he/she would come to me for assistance.. If the state recognized this student as conduct disordered or emotionally disturbed services could be established and my network, extensive, brought the problems to understanding and hopeful solutions. Positions such as this...
