In this episode, we’re diving into the science behind Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, and why your childhood experiences may still be impacting your mental, emotional, and even physical health today.


If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep showing up in your life—like anxiety, chronic stress, people-pleasing, or difficulty in relationships—this conversation offers a powerful lens to help you make sense of it all.


I’ll break down what ACEs are, how they’re measured, and what the original ACE study revealed about the connection between early trauma and long-term health outcomes. 


We’ll also explore how this information can be used not as a label, but as a tool for deeper understanding and healing.

Whether you’re new to the concept of ACEs or already familiar, this episode will help you connect the dots between past experiences and present challenges—with compassion, not blame.


In this episode, I cover:

  • What Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are and how they’re assessed


  • Long-term impacts of ACEs on mental and physical health


  • How trauma can show up in the therapy room and in your relationships


  • The hope beyond the score: healing, resilience, and nervous system repair
