ACEs in The Hollywood Reporter!

 

Following a blog published on ACESConnection about my encounter with Harvey Weinstein, The Hollywood Reporter interviewed me for their 2017 Women in Entertainment issue.

I didn't want to supply salacious details to the already much chewed over picture we have of the habitual, historical abuse. I wanted to take control of the narrative and use this opportunity to talk about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the patterns set up by this kind of toxic stress in later life. It is so important that the science we now have about trauma and resilience reaches a larger audience. At Echo Parenting & Education, we want people to understand that our relationships with one another, and especially our children, will determine whether we continue in these destructive cycles, or whether the trauma and abuse stop now.

She brought up very interesting points. Especially about danger cues and predators having a sense about someone who could be easy prey. I read a statistic once that said girls who were sexually molested as children are often revictimed in adulthood,  often more than once. Of course it doesn't have to be sexual abuse I think any kind of childhood trauma can result in abusive people coming into your life.
