Biopsychosocial connections to addictions confirmed!

Astonishing (astounding) new research demonstrates direct connection between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and addictive behaviors!

Unsuspected long-term outcomes of ACE

• Long-term Chronic Physical Illnesses
• Onset in 45-50+ age group

Treatment of ACE Factors can reduce or slow down impacts of Chronic Illness

New research shows 9 ACE Factors lead to chronic physical illnesses

ACE stands for Adverse Childhood Experiences

What are ACE Factors?

• recurrent and severe physical abuse (11%)

• recurrent and severe emotional abuse (11%)

• contact sexual abuse (22%)

• Emotional neglect  (added after the initial study)

growing up in a household with:

• an alcoholic or drug-user (25%)

• a member being imprisoned (3%)

• a mentally ill, chronically depressed, or institutionalized member (19%)

• the mother being treated violently (12%)

• both biological parents not being present (22%)

(ACE study conducted by CDC and Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, CA)

We knew the ACE Factors were present in addiction and dysfunctional family clients. 

Now the results are undisputed.

Hear how Dianne Quintana-Benevidez uses Transformational Journaling with her clients

Hello, I’m Debra Wingfield and I am an incest survivor/retired counselor/counselor educator... 

As an adult, I turned my experience into an opportunity to help others

as I was helped to heal. 

As a trained counselor, I realized there were many abuse survivors who were looking for the same kind of help that I discovered.  I decided to take everything I learned to help myself and develop a program for abuse survivors and other adults from dysfunctional family systems.  I started my program in 1988 and attracted many survivors and codependents.  I shared the Transformational Journaling techniques I used with my clients. 

.

The primary tool that helped me heal was Transformational Journaling. Transformational Journaling was the key to healing my soul from being sexually abused by my father. 

  I listened to various teachers about codependency and dysfunctional families.  I devoured books written by authors on these subjects.  The more I learned, the more I wrote in my journal.  As I drew from various authors guidelines for what I needed to address, I slowly transformed myself from being a victim to being a survivor of sexual abuse/incest.  Eventually, I Transformed my Soul and Re-Created my Life.
