Hello Susan.  Thank you for your reply;  I was not asking for a friend.  I am 68 years old and have seven ACEs from infancy and adolescence.   During the first two years of my life, they include:  1)  Parental (mother) suicide attempt, 2)  Parent (mother) in a mental institution, 3)  Parental divorce.  In adolescence, they include 4) Parental verbal and physical abuse, 5)  Sexual abuse by family friend, 6) Death of a parent, and 7) Family member incarcerated,

I survived all of this trauma and went on to become a marine biologist (retired) and father of three health, happy children, the products of a fifty-year marriage.  Now, having heard about the ACEs study, I am re-evaluating everything from my past.  Ouch!  I thought all this history was normal.  I thought I had brought these things upon myself as my father told me.

I have been to several councilors and none of them have heard of the ACEs Study.  Now, as a prostate cancer patient, I am on Lupron, an androgen inhibitor and suffering horribly.  Clearly the past is also playing a part in this.  What do you think.

Sincerely,

Chuck Sultzman

Neurofeedback.... (not medical advice, just a thought) I don’t know of anything else that has a chance of touching the panic, disorientation, confusion and dissociation from memories stored in implicit fragments not connected to words because they formed before words existed.  I don’t know of anything else that can touch the extreme and untamed emotional storms resulting from Neglect and Abuse by mother that begin for far too many in Infancy.   These “memories” actually represent limbic irritability; more specifically a seizure variant (temporal lobe epilepsy) that Martin Teicher mentions in his talks.   

The problem is - Neurofeedback is still very hard for most to find.
