Childhood Trauma’s Long Shadow: The Lasting Impact of Adverse Experiences on Health and Success

Dr. Vincent Felitti, MD, and I, Brian Alman, PhD, have spent years exploring how our earliest relationships and experiences shape our health and well-being throughout life. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)—events that cause significant emotional or physical stress before the age of 18—are deeply linked to patterns that affect our mental, emotional, and physical health well into adulthood.

These experiences are far more common than many people realize, silently influencing the lives of millions. Studies reveal that 61% of adults have encountered at least one ACE, and nearly 1 in 6 report four or more. The cumulative impact of these experiences often manifests as chronic health conditions, emotional struggles, and even dependency on harmful coping mechanisms.

Recognizing and addressing these experiences is essential to healing. It starts with creating a safe space to explore their effects, fostering self-compassion, and equipping individuals with tools to transform these challenges into opportunities for growth, resilience, and well-being.
