In this week's podcast, Coach Blu and Marissa discuss childhood trauma and how it manifests in adults. Childhood trauma also results in feeling disconnected and unable to relate to others. Studies have shown that adults who experience childhood trauma were more likely to struggle with controlling emotions, and had heightened anxiety, depression, and anger. Listen we listen to Ted Talk from Nadine Burke Harris as she describes childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect, and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain. Deep insight and excellent talking points on how to assess yourself using the ACES assessment.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ovIJ3dsNk Please join Addict to Athlete’s Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete Please visit our website for more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org
