In Episode 7, Matt, Curt, and Jerry examine the effects of childhood trauma on brain development. This examination begins with an introduction to the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study. This study redefined how we thought about risk factors and the lifelong impacts of ACES on all areas of health – behavioral health, brain health, physical health, and overall well-being. Building on the ACE Study, the podcast takes a deeper dive into the connection between childhood trauma and brain development.
