How Many ACES Do Your Clients Hold?

The Adverse Childhood Events study is a mustknow for all mental health clinicians.

In an EMDR conference in the beautiful city of Milan, Italy l was mesmerized listening to Carole Forgash. Here Carole introduced me to the Adverse Childhood Event’s Research. I don’t know why I hadn’t been aware

Bell’s were ringing, my lights were on the Adverse Childhood Event’s (ACE) study and findings made me tingle. I was nodding my head – Yes this makes so much sense!

You really don't want to have too many ACEs up your sleeves
Ace Trauma research

For those of you working with trauma this is totally need to know stuff. And really if you work with clients it doesn’t take long for the emotional wounds to open.

When I think back over my career, it’s my clients who have educated me so much. Especially so how our young lives affect our present ones.

Here is a short YouTube video introducing the ACE Research. Be fascinated. Saddened. Aware. Trigger warning too. Be gentle.

ACE Study

Thanks for watching. It resonated so fully with my personal experience. Breaking the silence of abuse is crucial.

EMDR Conference in Milan!

Milan's beautiful Cathedral

Today my gorgeous friend Alison sent me a blast form the past picture. We had the good fortune to attend the EMDR Conference 4 years ago in Italy together! I fell in love with Milan.

Such a beautiful city.

Thanks Alison – great trip to Italy – the food, your wonderful company! Super conference on EMDR.

The Conference was amazing. Hat’s off to EMDR Europe. I loved Carole Forgash’s plenary. She introduced us to the ACE study and how important it is to be trauma informed. We need to be aware outcomes of childhood adversity – the physical, emotional, societal, relational, spiritual and psychological .

Every Clinician needs to know about the ACE Research here is a YouTube video ( heads up it made me sigh and brought a tears.)

I can’t say enjoy but will say I hope you watch it. You care, I know you do and want to be aware.

Perhaps you were there? Love to hear from you.
