Regarding the discussion over whether using the ACE form could possibly be detrimental unless there is adequate access to treatment, the ACE assessment has been part of my intake paperwork for over 15 years and no one, civilian or military, has ever made a negative comment about it. Rather, they've stated it's a relief to finally understand the blueprint of cause/effect holding them hostage to emotional patterns, triggers, panic attacks, phobias, addictions, hoarding, obesity, and all manner of destructive and hurtful relationship auto repeats. Knowing, often for the first time, that "it's not what's wrong with you it's what happened to you" is the essence of empowerment especially for complex PTSD clients and combat veterans. In rural areas where conventional treatment may be limited, there is highly effective online treatment available by experienced providers, many of whom are also conventionally trained and credentialed, at www.energypsych.org.
