Explore Health: Adverse Childhood Experiences with Dr. Bruce Perry

Adverse Childhood Experiences can negatively impact a young child's brain development and ultimately hinder that child's transition to healthy adulthood. In this episode, Dr. Bruce Perry talks about the impact that these experiences can have on a child and how healthy relationships with an adult can serve as a buffer against adversity.

Thank you! Dr. Perry…I have spent 45 years trying to figure out why I beat to a different drummer. Your book, “Boy Raised By Wolfs” which I have been reading very slowly because the triggers of past traumatic experiences, which have been in the hundreds…yes hundreds were repressed over the years by talk therapy, or learning the cognitive techniques to control stinking thinking life has made life better for me. I myself, my sister and mother were abandoned in hotel when I was two years old. My life started with my mother having to nervous breakdowns when she was carrying me as a baby. Fortunately my grandmother came and rescued us at the hotel and brought us back to Minneapolis and we moved into a efficiency apartment. I have been gifted with a visual memory in my recalled ability is over the top, as you may think this caused more negatives in the earlier part of my life but now have help with the positive ones. My mother what is a manic depressant and when I was two years old I can still visualize staring at the end of the bed seeing her in the fetal position crying, I would say it’ll be OK mom. I am 62 years old now, and your book triggered many memories as a child Karma my grandmother lived with us and pretty much raised me as I finally realized that my mother was in bed pretty much for 10 years and my grandmother worked in the motel where we lived and she also was a nurses aide from 3 to 11 in the afternoon. He finally came to my realization how to read in the first chapters of the book Karma shocking revelation came over to me I really didn’t have any guidance I never learn the basics of trust, communication, and friends. I definitely am a classic case that you to research about, as I became criminally active, a problem child in school, speech and communication issues, authoritarian issues etc. I know, now that the only thing that kept me from not coin off the chain and going postal was my grandmother, show me minimal amount i’ve nurturing God bless her. I must say talk therapy has been a big help for me and my due diligence to do research on why I’d be to a different drummer. But I will say that psycho tropic drugs have caused many days of total on rest from the wrong medicines being prescribed to me, your philosophy on being raised in a very dysfunctional way truly does make a great impact on your physiological and your psychological well-being. I have numerous health problems, cardiac infections disease, and physical. I have a saying, Love your children, hold your children, praise your children, if you don’t you will surely possibly lose them into the abyss of chaos of life. Thank you doctor for helping me, and continuing to push the truism of what you’re saying on society, so family parents, educators etc. start to implement ways to help families who are in distress. Cheers!

Enjoyed the interview with Dr. Bruce Perry. Have always been a fan of Dr. Perry. Lessons learned from him helped me write my memoir, Victims Make The Best Birdhouses, by Larry L Franklin. Book will be released in two weeks.

My heart goes out to all who battle addictions. But it doesn’t stop me from wondering why such dialogues didn’t happen during the crack epidemic in the 80s. There’s also a big social-economic component to it. I know, social is a forbidden word in America. But in rural areas salaries and opportunities are so low that may drive you to use something to cope with your pain. Why not have programs in mobile libraries to prevent, educate the children, etc.. Why can people get out of these awful communities? Why there’s no decent housing for them. That would alleviate so many problems. I am social worker, I see it every day. We need compassion in all levels or don’t expect things to change. Lack of hope will drive you to do crazy things.

Early trauma does lead to violence and emotional disturbances. But the fundamental problem we face in not preventing violence is we cant mandate long term treatment on the violent mentally ill. As long as we allow them to refuse treatment rampage killings will continue. So we understand the problem but the law stops us from doing anything about it.

[@kiva822]

if you think the violently mentally ill is the root of this problem, you don't understand the problem.

proper parenting can prevent sociopathy but it can't prevent psychopathy.

[@GM-yb5yg]

Psychopathy is an outdated term which is thrown around as if there was somr actual scientific proof; there isn't. It's a nonsense term, stop using it.

[@chuckdavis572]

your argument and correlation and causation is identical to the one cigarette companies use regarding lung cancer. At some point you guys gotta get real. And regarding connectedness countbalancing adversity - I'd like to see the evidence. experience doesnt bear this out. correlation and causation, guys. remember how you argued this wasn't a bullet proof litmus test?

When we have 100's of studies showing similar results one has eventually ask if the environment actually affects brain development', which is obviousĺy a FUCKING JOKE. WE KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT AFFECTS BRAIN DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE WE CAN MEASURE PEOPLE'S BRAINS BDFORE AND AFTER ACTIVITY. That people ignore social reality, is not surprising.
