This episode delves into the profound impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on individuals and communities. We explore how traumatic experiences can shape our brains and bodies, leading to long-term health issues and behavioral problems. We discuss the importance of recognizing and addressing ACEs, particularly within religious communities, and how to foster healing and resilience. By sharing personal stories and scientific insights, we aim to empower listeners to break the cycle of trauma and build stronger, more compassionate communities.
