Wow - You put the idea through the eye of a needle... Right on... Exactly the situation. I am in my 50's and having massive breakdowns and episodes for this very reason...
Thanks for highlighting this all pervasive dilemma in most of the societies. The security, love, appreciation and understanding by the respective teachers and mentors could provide a sfe island where the afflicted souls could thrive witout shame and regret. No bad kids.
FASCINATING!! So important for adults working with children to get this whole process. Very creative delivery! It's heart-wrenching to think about what goes through a traumatized mind. Kindness is so important in our world. You can never know what battles people are fighting in their lives. Let's make KINDNESS our default.
thank you very much I have been working with children and young people at risk for several years now and when I heard you today that I am off duty it seemed to me that I was finally hearing the words that "my" children cannot say, or express in the form of screams, cries , silences, teeth gnashing and outbursts of anger. Thanks
Thank you for including disassociation. Best explanation I've ever heard regarding my condition. To add, a person with dissociation also struggles with communication. Even simple things such as texting could be overwhelming. I'm from an Asian country who don't really recognized mental health, my family called me weak for having problems with dissociation and my friends thinks that its just laziness. I'm very late to comment. I hope I got a respond. how do I improve my mental health?
I talked with my brother and how I have a ace score of atleast 8 but I also mentioned that my ace score could possibly be even higher because I don't remember everything and some trauma is blocked out and I also mentioned how trauma can have affects on the mind and body even if you don't remember it
The ACE study criteria is nowhere near complete. Death of a parent/caretaker isn't included which I find astounding. There are many others, and as someone with complex ptsd, unfortunately I can attest to the fact that the whole rest of the person's life is adversely impacted.
One question from the ACE quiz asks "Before your 18th birthday, was a biological parent ever lost to you through divorce, abandonment, or other reason? " Other reason could be death. It's possible being abandoned is even worse.
There can and have been many criticisms of Felitti's study, largely around it not being inclusive enough. However, it was ground breaking at the time and has been the foundation on which other research has been built, leading to much greater understanding. The aim of this talk wasn't to critically appraise the study but to give a general overview for lay people to understand the impact of childhood trauma and simple things that they can do that could help.

Well done. A nice combination of fact and performance to examine a serious topic.
I know I hate me too. Wow, that poem... Damn. I feel it.

thank you so so much for this talk wow !!! this is so powerful and impactful.
An important topic which is very well presented. Brilliant TED talk!

Thank you for this!!
Best explanation I have heard. Thank you.
So inspiring insight.
Thank you! Theresa
8 unless jail counts as prison, and my mom leaving a few times and coming back counts as "separation". If these two count than it would be 10.

this study has been repeated in different countries
no 6 loss of parent (caretaker) through death or divorce
55 years old. Still dealing with the loss of a parent. At 5 years old. ... What do I do?😢😢
This could have been less of a performance
I think the performance is what reminded me of what I say in my own head. It told me I was'nt alone in all those thoughts, someone else said them too.
I agree. It was a bit triggering for me
