When I asked how many of these aces were due to alcohol or alcohol addiction, they've all said all of them.
Picture growing up in a world where the presence of alcohol casts a long shadow over every aspect of life. In this episode of 'The Bear Comes Home From The Bar', host Terrance Fleming sits down with Anne, a passionate advocate for children and families dealing with Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
Anne, who also moderates the ACEs Facebook page, opens up about her personal experiences and professional insights into how alcohol addiction intertwines with ACEs, creating a storm of toxic stress for young minds. Anne and Terrance dive deep into the harsh realities that children face when alcohol addiction is part of their daily lives.
They discuss how such environments can lead to a dysregulated nervous system, making it hard for children to process trauma and often leaving them feeling unheard and unloved. But it's not all grim; Anne emphasizes the transformative power of having a safe, stable adult in a child's life. This support can be a beacon of hope, helping children heal from the scars of their past.
The conversation also touches on the troubling normalization of alcohol in society, which often downplays its severe impact on young lives. Anne’s story is not just a tale of struggle but also one of resilience and recovery. She sheds light on the importance of community and advocacy in supporting those affected by ACEs. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the profound effects of alcohol on childhood development and the incredible strength required to overcome such adversities.
Whether you're someone who's been through similar experiences or you know someone who has, Anne’s insights offer both empathy and practical advice for navigating these challenges.
