Study Links Childhood Trauma to
Serious Illnesses in Adults
Children, adolescents and adults can take charge and change their
future health by using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to address
traumatic experiences. Research repeatedly shows that children who
experience unresolved trauma and adversity are likely to become adults
with compromised physical and emotional health. Conventional medicine
appears unprepared to supply solutions to prevent childhood trauma from
translating into adult illness.
EFT is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique that anybody can use to
halt depression, anxiety, anger and fear. It involves fingertip tapping
on select acupressure points while focusing on the problem in question.
This adaptation of acupressure claims an 80% success rate in calming the
body and mind’s response to trauma. It and can be learned freely by
downloading the EFT Manual at www.emofree.com.au
Vincent J Felitti, MD, co-authored the Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACE) Study that compared 17,400 adults’ health status with decades-old
childhood experiences. According to Dr. Felitti, “The ACE Study reveals
a powerful relation between our emotional experiences as children and
our adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of
mortality in the United States.”
The ACE Study findings categorized adverse childhood experiences
(physical, emotional or sexual abuse, dysfunctional households with
family issues like violence, alcoholism, mental illness and depression).
A person who had four of these adverse childhood experiences (ACE score
of 4) was 390 percent more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) than someone reporting no adverse childhood experiences.
A person with and ACE score of more than 4 was 460 percent more likely
to be a depressed adult than someone with an ACE score of zero.
Gary Craig, founder of EFT explains, “The ACE Study and similar research
is finally coming to the conclusion that unresolved childhood emotional
issues affect adult health. However, practitioners of EFT have known
this since 1995. Furthermore, EFT practitioners all over the world have
been erasing traumas associated with adverse childhood experiences for
more than a decade.”
Although most conventional physicians have yet to learn about EFT, this
simple technique fills a void that cannot be filled by prescription
medications or traditional psychotherapy. According to the theory behind
EFT, childhood trauma causes a severe disruption in the body’s energy
meridian system (also known as Chi or Qi), and unless this disruption is
corrected, physical and emotional symptoms and coping behaviours are
likely to erupt as the traumatized child ages. EFT corrects that energy
disruption and its accompanying physical and emotional symptoms.
Says Dr Fellitti, “Clearly, we have shown that adverse childhood
experiences are both common and destructive. This combination makes them
one of the most important, if not the most important, determinants of
the health and well-being of the nation. Unfortunately, these problems
are both painful to recognize and difficult to cope with. Most
physicians would far rather deal with traditional organic disease.”
Dr. Felitti indicates that the treatment and prevention implications of
the ACE Study are daunting to conventional doctors. “Why would one want
to leave the relative comfort of traditional organic disease and enter
this area of threatening uncertainty that none of us has been trained to
deal with?”
Thousands of EFT Practitioners worldwide are currently working with
children and adults, teaching them EFT and helping them to resolve
complex emotional traumas. In addition to laypersons, medical
professionals of all kinds are incorporating EFT into their practices.
Andrew Lewis, practitioner and trainer of EFT provides the opportunity
for EFT to be learned freely by downloading the manual from
www.emofree.com.au
Mr Lewis is also conducting an all-day workshop in the Sydney area,
Sunday 30th August, teaching people how they can take care of their own
health with this simple, yet effective, self-healing tool. For further
