Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE)
There are three types of ACE:
1.
2.
3.
Abuse
(physical, emotional, sexual)
Neglect
(emotional or physical)
Household Dysfunction
(mental illness, parent treated with violence, relative in prison, substance abuse, divorce or separation)
These situations don’t predict ACE as a compassionate family member or mentor can mitigate these experiences. A question I ask clients “When you were young did you have an adult you could trust and talk to?”
​
ACE occurs due to issues within family, community or the environment. It reduces the HSP’s ability to learn how to express themselves and deal with stress in a positive way.
​
If you're looking for counselling for HSP and/or ACE, I offer remote sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please get in contact using the details below.
