Thankfully, like with all ACEs, we can find healing once we escape the bear den.
Imagine growing up in a world where poverty and adversity are constant companions. In this episode of 'The Bear Comes Home From The Bar', host Terrance Fleming sits down with Elissa, a Mindfulness-based Health and Wellness Coach, to tackle the heavy topic of childhood poverty and its long-term effects. Elissa, the founder of Wise Mind Wellness Coaching and the Healing From Adverse Childhood Experiences Facebook group, brings a wealth of knowledge and personal experience to the conversation.
Together, they explore how growing up in poverty can damage the brain and lead to unfavorable health outcomes in adulthood. Childhood poverty is likened to a 'bear den', a place where adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can pile up, creating a toxic environment that follows you into adult life. But there’s hope. Elissa shares how mindfulness-based coaching can be a powerful tool for healing from these deep-rooted issues.
She discusses the importance of having at least one safe and stable adult in your life, building self-worth, and navigating relationships when you've grown up in a harmful environment. This episode isn't just about identifying problems; it's about finding solutions and building resilience. If you're a survivor of childhood alcohol adversity or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on how to start the healing process.
Tune in to hear more about Elissa's journey and how mindfulness can help you overcome the 'bear den' of childhood poverty.
