You are not the problem.
You are the result of the context that you were born into.
This means that you can heal by making the choice to heal.
Thank you for considering healing. The below quiz starts your extraordinary journey into the world of possibility.
ACE, The Adverse Childhood Experiences, or “ACEs,” quiz was developed in the 1990s through research conducted by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente. Researchers determined that 10 specific traumatic childhood experiences, or ACEs, could be linked to a higher likelihood of health challenges later in life and that the likelihood of these negative effects increased with the number of “ACEs” a child experienced.
THE 10 ACES WERE DEFINED AS THE FOLLOWING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES:
– Physical, sexual or verbal abuse
– Physical or emotional neglect
– Separation or divorce
– A family member with mental illness
– A family member addicted to drugs or alcohol
– A family member who is in prison
– Witnessing a parent being abused
Still, there are variables this quiz doesn’t account for – including stressors outside of the home, as well as the important role positive influences play in buffering the effects of trauma.
