Here are some few things Dr. Cira would say in an interview:

    • What are some things that constitute having a crappy childhood?
    • Even if you don’t necessarily feel “traumatized” by it, it can continue to impact your life NOW!

  • ACE Study:

    • They found that at least 64% of the people they surveyed had at least 1 ACE in their background (www.cdc.gov)ACE Study:
    • The Center for Disease Control (CDC) surveyed thousands of people about adverse childhood experiences (ACE) as well as current difficulties in their life.
    • The more ACES you have, the more likely you are to have risky health behaviors, chronic health conditions, low life potential, and early death (www.cdc.gov)

  • You may have even tried going to therapy to deal with whatever is bugging you now – depression, anxiety, relationship issues, perfectionism, etc – but if you haven’t dealt with whatever is in your past, it will likely continue to interfere with your present.
