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.
