Enhancing Broader Understanding: Trauma, Childhood Trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Interactive Presentation designed for Certified Havening Practitioners and Havening Students
Have you ever questioned what’s out there in terms of existing knowledge? What are your thoughts on ‘Trauma is not the event’? Two Children, one child is traumatised and the other isn’t, why? What is an Adverse Childhood Experience and is there more to consider beyond the ACEs study?
Together, let's revisit the requirements for traumatisation, share thoughts on broader understanding of Trauma, Childhood Trauma, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), and consider how any of the requirements for traumatisation—or meeting those requirements—could contribute to existing knowledge and enhance broader understanding of these areas.
