Informative Links about Trauma

I find that understanding trauma can help increase self-understanding and self-compassion for our own experiences of enduring huge life hardships and then trying to deal with its negative impact on us.

Read about the original ACE study*: https://www.cdc.gov/aces/about/index.html

Take the original ACE questionnaire*: https://americanspcc.org/take-the-aces-quiz/

*Note: Since the original ACE study (1995-97) included a limited list of adverse experiences/events, there are likely many other traumatic experiences that could negatively impact health and well-being. This includes experiencing unstable housing, bullying, or discrimination, and even perceiving that one didn't have an adult to receive adequate support from when subjectively feeling it was needed.
