How childhood trauma affects health across a lifetime | Nadine Burke Harris
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. This unfolds across a lifetime, to the point where those who’ve experienced high levels of trauma are at triple the risk for heart disease and lung cancer. An impassioned plea for pediatric medicine to confront the prevention and treatment of trauma, head-on.

She said it's treatable and beatable but she didn't propose how in any way. I'd like to believe it's something that can be handled. However realistically there will always be people who have suffered abuse that go on to have children and perpetuate this cycle, whether they know they are doing it or not. Things like neglect and emotional abuse are extremely damaging and yet subjective. There are many people who have NPD (one example) and other problems who have children that are incapable of loving in a healthy way so I found it disappointing that she just said it'd treatable and beatable because to me, that's the interesting question. How can we treat it? How can we change it? I totally agree that the ACE score has to become common knowledge and shockingly few people know about it. However I think that's only a small piece of the puzzle.

Yeah, I don't think we're raising kids properly. We have a lot of white stresses (instead of lies), and stupid things have meaning. I have a relative who had a lot of adversity, like extreme poverty, and she's very smart and loving. She doesn't whine about it, even though she has a disease from it. She is normal. But we're all becoming psychopaths. She had loving parents and family, but still, she had a lot of adversity.

26 and still finding things about myself which i thought were normal but are not, but i had no reference so that was my normal... now this shift by realizations and acknowledgement is messing with my head to the point where i sometimes feel like i am going crazy...but i read, initially it will be difficult but after a few years things will become less dramatic...awareness is really very helpful... another thing is that i can see why my parents and sibling acted/behaved the way they did and two wrongs don't make one right so i don't want to fight them or blame them i am secretly trying to fix myself ...coming across videos like this is a blessing...

I am an 8 and this is so mindblowing to me! Kind of scary but I am more focused on how amazing, intelligent, and passionate this woman is. She is an angel who truly cares and loves her patients and wants the most for them!

Best TED talk I've seen by far.

Is Donald Trump a victim of early childhood trauma??
-
I wish I had access to the treatment. Anyone know of link?

I agree with this. I won't get into details of my childhood but my health is horrible. I have RA, depression, chronic bronchitis (they are teetering on diagnosing me with COPD, thyroid disease, and I can't remember name of heart issues, etc. I do not drink, smoke or do drugs.

That would explain why i had developed hoshimotos at the age of 12. Who would have thought trauma could change your entire life's potential.

No wonder I have a poor health.

Nadine Burke Harris, thank you so much for your work on this.

A big problem I have found is access to mental health treatment. For instance, Psychologists and psychiatrists are expensive. In certain areas on the east coast, a psychiatrist can charge anywhere from $150-300 per one hour session.
I personally would LOVE to see a psychiatrist--but I can't afford it. -
Nice to know I'm not crazy for thinking I'm sick

This really hit home for me. I suffered from abuse for the first 13 years of my life. My own father almost killed me once...
