How can anyone dislike this? This woman is doing something profound

"They didn't have attention deficit, they had an over exaggerated chronically activated stress response."

[@iwnunn7999]

This woman is a terrific speaker!

[@rachelsimbhu4383]

For real ! She's beyond amazing !! Love her to pieces !!

[@denariuswright8284]

Thanks Dr.Harris for advocating for people like me ..who were born in deeply dark circumstances! I adore your professional aspirations.

[@runnergirl3947]

This young lady is amazing. Pay attention. Evidence is there.

Just an FYI, I'm currently a nursing student working on my RN. I've just entered the mental health education portion of my program and was thrilled to find that this is being taught to nursing students. The movement is real!

[@beesworld04]

Tiffany So happy to hear that!

[@dontshakeme]

this gives a huge bunch of hopes. Thank you for this information!! I was really wondering wether this is only nice theoretic talk, but knowing this is real, gives me hope. Though i am aware that it will take some generations to make this knowledge common in the world

[@knit1purl1]

I know this is an older post but when I was in college (in my 30's) when we studied the personality disorders, I didn't recognize my own mother, a severe borderline personality disorder. Because what they stated about borderlines didn't begin to describe my mother. Years later, a therapist told me my mother was borderline and that my childhood was un-survivable. This good speaker is the first I have viewed that gets it.

[@marisoltomkins2624]

Do you know where I can find the entire study?

[@radicalhonesty3628]

I'm here to let y'all know, as I watch this video... that I have made a firm and magical and miraculous and complete commitment, that from this moment forward, I am 100% changing my life around (for the better!). I receive and accept: health, wealth, and love. what a beautiful day to be be alive!! May 22nd, 2022. it's the 22/22 pleadian portal of magic! stay blissed and stay blessed, my friends.

Wish my mother could hear this. She was such a toxic parent. She only calmed down because she was getting up in age and couldn't get as crazy as she used to..

[@MissChrissyM1]

Tuna I hv the most viscous evil violent abusive mother still to this day. I’m 59 and she’s 86. I moved away from my home in NY to CA 22 years ago. I always want therapy and she does not although we had about a dozen counseling sessions. She’s hopeless. We hv not spoken for 2 years.

I have a ACE score of 9. I’m a 56 year old woman. Raised in foster care. I really thought for most of my life I was doing pretty well. In the past few years I have suffered debilitating depression. I do smoke cigarettes. Don’t really drink. I don’t use any drugs other then Tobacco. No heart disease, not a diabetic. I don’t live in poverty ect.... But, I’m not ok, anymore. It’s like I have nothing left to handle stress, emotional pain, or much of anything.

[@moments22]

I found Louise Hays " You can heal your life " very helpful in understanding the emotional reasons behind each illness, there are also excises in the book to help you switch your perception to past or current trauma, it's a little rudimentary and new age ish .... But it was published in the 70s. I found it somewhat of a relief..

[@p.a.abernathy5240]

Jenny Billings A.

[@stephenwestmoreland7268]

Mine was 9 also. No chronic illness with me but 2 years ago I started having panic attacks. Just outta the blue and I was told it's all from past stress. Now I'm on Xanax just to be able to work and leave the house.

[@ayodeler39]

Jenny Billings I have found it helpful to keep up regular counselling therapy along with reading Louise Hays ‘You can heal your life’. I will be 70 next year and keep taking care of my mental health. If you can Research local resources and engage with an addiction therapist. It takes time and can be a lifelong journey but it is worth having the support.

I scored 10/10 the sexual abuse wasn't severe though I live in poverty I also have ptsd and depression I use food and video games to cope I also struggle with a developmental disability as well I don't smoke I rarely drink I don't do street drugs my mom smokes 50 cigarettes a day still and she has diabetes witch I have to

This study makes sense to prevent chronic diseases.

Dr Burke thats my name and by listening to you i am learning so much about me at 57 years old now.

[@ashantimahdi1464]

I absolutely love you Dr. Burke-Harris!!!! As an educator and advocate for children, this knowledge is priceless!!!!!! Thank You!!!! Keep Up the Divine Work!!!!

[@Ferro12211]

So profound! She articulates with such way to explain and breakdown every aspect of what she is speaking about. This should be a mandatory video, course, teaching for every medical student/therapist/teachers/parents. This will effect how I go forward with teaching and loving my children. I realize now that one of my children is possibly exhibiting some of the effects due to stress in our home. This video has been a blessing and I will not let her be a statistic. Thank you for the work you do and continue to do.

[@hildacruz2135]

Is easy to see when people love their profession and humanity!..... she is amazing!!

[@chrisgainey-lymon9210]

I am experiencing that these findings are very true in my own life. I am now 59 yrs old. I recently learned about ACE last year.

[@kaybeejelly461]

I can’t believe I’m only hearing about this now! It makes me look at my siblings and I a lot differently.

[@r.p.8906]

The ACE movement is here. This ACE study needs to be mentioned to the People responsible for public health/ elections etc and some screening, mandatory screening needs to be implemented with the ACE numbers and course of action. Thank you!!

[@ayodeler39]

Thank you doctor. It hurts to not see a single black professional in the audience. Our ancestors have been fighting that bear and running from that bear for years. It’s sad when as adults battling chronic diseases the doctors tell us that our race have more aggressive forms of these cancers, diseases etc. Of course our stress responses are perpetually over active. I wake up every day to news of police violence against my people . It’s no wander I struggle with depression and high blood pressure. I don’t smoke i don’t drink , I’me not overweight. I’me lucky to be aware and able to keep informed so at 69years I can support my son who clearly is still as an adult exposed to high doses of adversity.

[@waynemizer4912]

Guess who commits sixty percent of the violent crimes against ninety eight of the rest of us? It is the 2-4 percent within your group.

[@denariuswright8284]

I agree this video pulled so many emotions out of me as well because I had a traumatic and poor childhood and I have many mental issues that stem from it..but Like Dr.Nadine proves I can properly address them

[@phanda7877]

Yes, this is pandemic. We have been made aware. Embrace the sensitivity in you; many will view this in part and walk away. Precious One, let those tears and the pain motivate you to consider how your life can positively affect positive change for.even just one person, one child.

i wish drs in northern ontario canada would view this and start implementing this into their practices so we could get needed help and support.. we need support groups to help with these issues... cptsd is very real and damaging ... ACE needs to be dealt with .. it is very real...

Dr Burke , Thank you for your work & passion for helping children , as we all have a little child yet within us , the hurts we have not made peace with from our childhood totally shape who we are , agreed more than most Dr’s and parents were ever aware . You are also a very effective & interesting speaker . 🙏✌️

[@roziedb]

Thank u so much dr. I am a 72 yr old woman with two sons. At age 68 I started getting depressive episodes. I am an RNBS myself & here I was facing a mental illness. ( once I was a cardiac care nurse & when I was 49 found out I needed open heart surgery) now after putting myself in 9 times I know I have Bipolar 2 ( which even with all my psych training ) was something I had never heard of. Now I have 2 sons ages 52 & 45. Both having serious problems. If I wasn’t on u tube researching for me I never would have found your so very informative videos. I know a lot better now what’s wrong with my 2 sons. Both suffered severe childhood trauma. The older one is struggling with addictions. He is totally messing up his life. When he was 5 I was told he had poor impulse control, then a yr later that he had ADD. The 45 yr old has less problems but has suffered even more childhood trauma than the older one. Thank u so very much for your brilliant work. Diane

[@heavenlypickler]

She is amazing.

Such courage to talk in front of the line of classic hetero-macho men in gray suits!! someone in the audience will catch your wisdom, that's crucial!! merci!

[@chynakissz]

Interesting information. This is why I've always been intrigued with child psychology. It taught me a lot about why I am the way I am. Considering I have an ACE score of 7 which doesn't even factor in my experiences when I left home at 16, I see where I am at today physically and mentally and I see it as an absolute blessing. I now know why I have BED, IBS, inability to deal with stress, and a life of being prone to addictions.

Absolutely brilliant. does anyone know whether the slides are available anywhere?

[@matthewscottwilson5964]

Dr. Burke, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I live in Alaska and this state has a huge problem with ACEs. I volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Abused and Neglected children in need. How do we make this movement grow in our area?

a much needed presentation. thank you.

[@donaldlyon6307]

very important information brilliantly presented.

[@charleshurstreinvention3959]

Something I told my own subscribers this week. Overcoming adversity and continuing forward. This is also how you respond to it. As I see this daily as a healthcare provider. People who are destroyed adults because they couldn't outrun a terrible childhood. Too many times this becomes the excuse to give up. The reason someone won't try. "Because this (fill in the blank) happened to me." Now understand I am not discounting terrible childhoods. I had one as well. What I am saying is that the world doesn't care. It is totally indifferent. It may owe you but good luck trying to collect. The only way to collect your due is to go out and seek it, pursue it and take it back from the universe. The stories of great triumph are rarely without great adversity--ever notice that? Most will lie down to bad circumstances. But those who get up and fight back will insure that their story is a great one. Hope this helps someone out there---keep being great---Charles.

What Is done for adults whom have already been exposed and developed ?

[@Soaptivated]

Ashley Luguardo ~ Try starting here: *National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse* naasca.com *Break the Silence* (helpline page) www.breakthesilencedv.org/break-silence-offers-helpline-thats-unique/ A word search for depression forums: www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=depression+forums+2018&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 I would also suggest you see an MD, get a physical, run some blood tests and have your thyroid checked. One third of the population has a low thyroid, doesn't know it, and the symptoms are depression, chronic fatigue and cold hands and feet. Also, going on an anti-anxiety/anti-depressant like Zoloft will help you quit smoking if you use it in conjunction with the nicotine patch. I've smoked since in utero and I quit this way with no withdrawals. I am 65. The depressed tend to isolate, but joining an online forum will show you that you're not alone, and give you the validation and support you need. Every victim needs to tell their story. It's cathartic.

[@crazyladyyoga]

Find and join a mindfulness meditation group in your area and start a daily practice. Many .orgs offer special sessions specifically for adults who have experienced trauma. ❤️🙏

What an incredibly smart and well spoken women! I'm binging more of her videos. Just unfortunate that she did not mention "fatherlessness" once! Fatherlessness has been shown to increase depression, addiction and crime rates, and is very common in modern society.

[@shirleymccowan7402]

Dear Dr. Harris: Thank you for your heart! I graduated from nursing school in 1977 and we needed your information then as well as now, and into the future. The approach to caring for children with childhood adversity is fantastic to prevent it before it ruins a child's life (like them being sent to prison or something because of wrong reason being given for their behavior in school or as adolescents perhaps). I wish the pediatrician's were using your treatment tools for early identification and parental support when I was raising my children because of unplanned adversity in our household. God Bless You!

[@1962637]

I have seen her TED talk ...and now this one. .but what about us living in 3rd world countries and nobody cares about that...how do we reduce those doses of toxic stress ..Yes I do meditate ..and any other ways ... inorder to prevent any future diseases

[@rdanielle989]

It would be nice if our world wanted people to be happy, healthy, & free people, because the damages don't just start in homes, it would be nice if our health system actually wanted to heal instead of push medicine that causes more symptoms that crates more sickness most damage is done for the sake of paper, the old mighty dollar, I don't know anyone that has gotten fiscal or mental health issues, get better after seeing a doctor, psychologist, therapist or gone to counseling get better, but instead they stay the same or get worse & I know first hand as well... But the world is changing and more people are realizing everything in this world right now is opposite, perception is reality and people are starting to see through the bull crap... There's enough homes, car's, food & whatever else for everyone to live comfortably but instead food is thrown away while people are starving to death, car's sit in lots everywhere while people are stuck, homes are taken just to sit empty or abandoned to fall apart then torn down while people are homeless, all so some people can feel above others it's crazy...
