Philadelphia has a huge network. Understand the difference between TIC and ACEs awareness. TIC is the nice way of thinking. "I know something happened to you". ACEs is about "What happened". The TIC community is so worried of triggers. ACEs is drilling down to awareness of why has my life been this way. It took me a year of being on fire with the TIC community and my practice of "ACEs in your face" before I realized this. As a volunteer EMT I have been offering the ACE survey to some of my patients and the general public. Approximately 200+ over the past 2 years. Only two handed it back or dismissed it. Of recent, I was talking with 2 adult males at a family birthday party. One dismissed the statistic of 17% male and 20% female at the party had been sexually abuse as a child. "Not a family gathering" he professed. The second man spoke up to tell his story as a 14 year old, an uncle exposed himself to him and had him touch his privates. He washed his narrative down with a beer.
I use a hand out of ACEs and Resilience surveys, Neurology of ACE and Resilience from the resource sight and a list of 20+ negative thoughts that get stuck in our own narrative. "I'm not good enough, I not worthy...."
Remember this "If you're not pushing the edge of the envelope, you're not doing enough for your patient."
