Keywords
Adverse Babyhood Experiences, trauma, chronic illness, parenting, somatic psychotherapy, early intervention, bonding, stress, health, prevention
Summary
*Trigger warning: We discuss trauma and its impacts in the pre- and perinatal time period.
In this conversation, Dr. Veronique Mead discusses the concept of Adverse Babyhood Experiences (ABEs), Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and their significant potential impacts on chronic illness. She explains the ten categories of ABEs, the role of trauma in potentially shaping health, and the importance of early interventions and support for parents. The discussion highlights the differences between stress and trauma, the link between early trauma and chronic illnesses, and therapeutic approaches to repair ABEs. Dr. Mead emphasizes the need for greater awareness and integration of trauma research in medical practice to improve outcomes for families and individuals with chronic health issues.
Takeaways
ABEs can significantly influence long-term health outcomes.
Trauma in early life may lead to the development of chronic illnesses later.
Support for parents is crucial during pregnancy, the perinatal time, and throughout early childhood.
Understanding the difference between stress and trauma is essential for professionals who work with vulnerable populations.
Early interventions can help prevent some chronic health issues.
Connection, attachment, and bonding are vital for child development.
Naming and addressing trauma can facilitate healing of that trauma.
Some chronic illnesses may stem from unresolved trauma responses.
Medical training often lacks focus on trauma's impact, but future research may bridge the gap between trauma and medical practice.
