Summary

In this episode, coach and trainer Kristin Brock discusses resilience after adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). She shares her background and passion for helping adults heal from their own trauma to prevent generational trauma. ACEs are defined as traumatic experiences that occur during childhood, such as divorce, domestic violence, neglect, and substance abuse. These experiences can have long-term effects on physical and mental health. However, resilience can be built through stable environments, support systems, therapy, and faith. Kristen advises listeners to give themselves grace and work towards breaking the cycle of generational trauma.

Takeaways

• Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are traumatic experiences that occur during childhood and can have long-term effects on physical and mental health.
• Resilience can be built through stable environments, support systems, therapy, and faith.
• Understanding ACEs and their impact is the first step in healing and preventing generational trauma.
• Anger and questioning faith are normal reactions to ACEs. It is important to find ways to process these emotions, including crying out to God and seeking spiritual guidance.
• Psychotherapy and medication can be valuable tools in the healing process. They are not signs of a lack of faith, but rather ways to support mental and emotional well-being.
• Let go of shame and self-blame. ACEs were not your fault, and healing involves recognizing your worth and understanding that you are not defined by your past.
• Recommended resources for understanding and healing from ACEs include books like 'The Body Keeps the Score' by Bessel van der Kolk and 'Trauma and Grace' by Serene Jones. Seek out resources that align with your faith as well.

Special Note from Kallista: Healing the wounds from sexual trauma is only something the Lord can do for us. However, it is also equally important to ensure that offenders are held legally accountable for their behavior to protect others from being violated. According to a retired officer of SAPD (former investigator for child and adult sexual abuse cases), he's confident that about "99% of sexual offenders are repeat offenders throughout their lifetime." His expertise in the field helped me make an informed decision to take legal action against my abuser so that no other person(s) would be put at risk by my silence. If you are someone who has been affected by sexual abuse I encourage you to hold your abuser legally accountable. Whether the assault occurred years ago or recently, you can always refer to your state's statutes of limitations for more information. Praying for your peace and total closure.
