“A rousing wake-up call . . . this highly engaging, provocative book prove[s] beyond a reasonable doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic stress.”—Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow
Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was Diego—a boy who had stopped growing after a sexual assault—who galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses.
The stunning news of Burke Harris’s research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEs—adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. Childhood adversity changes our biological systems, and lasts a lifetime. For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative, acclaimed health interventions in The Deepest Well represent vitally important hope for preventing lifelong illness for those we love and for generations to come.
“Nadine Burke Harris . . . offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of us heal ourselves, our children, and our world.”—Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed
“A powerful—even indispensable—frame to both understand and respond more effectively to our most serious social ills.”—New York Times
Perhaps the most important health story since antibiotics: Adverse Childhood Experiences What a phenomenal story!I was enthralled by every page, from her early vision for a medical clinic in one of San Francisco's poorest neighborhoods, to the discovery that behind many ailments lay the same biological root cause, our bodies' normal reaction to the stresses of Adverse Childhood Experiences, to the stories with strategies to buffer the difficulties of life for your child (or your inner child!), to her call for universal screening -- a fantastic book, by someone doing amazing, world-changing work. Brilliant and compassionate, scientific yet approachable, deeply personal and still profoundly universal.Main take-aways:* Your entire genetic code has some flexibility built in, and will be expressed differently based on your environment.* Adverse Childhood Experiences are nearly universal, across incomes and groups.* Having a large number of ACEs correlates with huge health impacts: twice as likely to develop heart disease and cancer, 3.5 times as likely to develop COPD, twice the odds of hospitalization for an autoimmune disease (such as arthritis, lupus, diabetes, celiac), and a greater risk of asthma, allergies, migraines, fibromyalgia, reflux, bronchitis, ulcers, "and the list goes on." (p. 73,181)* Neuroplasticity means epigenetics are treatable, and the stress response can often be brought back under control through therapy, meditation, and exercise.* Universal screening would help many people understand their bodies and break the generational cycle by becoming effective buffer/advocates for their children.Okay, But Hoped For More Practical Help I absolutely wanted to love this book based on all the 5 star reviews. And the first chapter does suck you in and really gets your interest. But be aware that a lot of the book contains a lot of scientific info, which is fine, and a lot of the writer's own experiences in researching these links. However, I was hoping for some practical info on how to treat the overstimulated nervous system. Overall worth a read, but I just can't justify more than 3 stars.
