But it was Diego\u2014a boy who stopped growing after a sexual assault\u2014who spurred her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses. Her research revealed just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEs\u2014adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes our biological systems and lasts a lifetime. <em>The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Trauma and Adversity<\/em> aids our understanding of how ACEs encode our body and offers hope by sharing important interventions for preventing lifelong illness for those we love, and future generations.<\/li>\n<li>Early experiences shape our lives far down the road. <em>What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing <\/em>by Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry, M.D., PhD, provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into behavioral patterns we often struggle to understand. They reframe the question \u201cWhat\u2019s <em>wrong<\/em> with you?\u201d to \u201cWhat <em>happened<\/em> to you?\u201d, a subtle but profound shift in our approach to trauma. This allows us to understand our past and clear a path to our future by opening the door to resilience and healing in a proven, powerful way.<\/li>\n<li>In her searing memoir of reckoning and healing, <em>What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma<\/em>, acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo reveals the little-understood science behind Complex PTSD or C-PTSD. She shares her journey about how C-PTSD shaped her life and how she has learned to live with her past.
