Finally have the time to listen to @suzannezeedyk & @DrJessTaylor talking about language use and the power involved in access to knowledge. One of my favourite topics. Why do we as a society invest in research that is then hoarded by the privileged?
"Those institutions feel very insecure." @DrJessTaylor Oh yeah. Intellectual arrogance is one of the most common compensations for social and emotional vulnerability. Which is #WhyITalkACEs Because the privileged are the walking wounded believing they're optimal humans.
As @DrJessTaylor points out, Dr. Robert Anda recently provided more information about the origin of the ACE Score and why it shouldn't be used as a diagnostic or clinical assessment tool. #WhyITalkACEs because #ItsNotYourFault
The #ACEs Movement has gotten us talking abt what we are exposing our children to during their development & how the effects of that exposure often manifest in adulthood. It's not prescriptive, but it can be explanatory. Goal: Prevent child abuse, neglect & support adult health.
#WhyITalkACEs not because of the 10 point score, rather it opens the door for discussion of all experiences children are exposed to that undermine their global healthy neurobiopsychosocialspiritual development. van der Kolk acknowledges #Trauma inspires creativity. At what cost?
Thank you to @suzannezeedyk and @connectedbaby for hosting these valuable Saturday morning conversations. Maybe I should get up early to participate;-) Glad you like my tweets. #TearDownTheIvoryTower
