Please Note: Today's podcast covers childhood trauma that may be difficult for some listeners.

For today's episode, we are joined by Claudia Belliveau, a Ph.D. candidate, and researcher at McGill University in Montreal. She is conducting research on the physical changes to the brain after it has undergone trauma. We will discuss the observations that Ms. Belliveau has discovered as well as the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) on parents and children, and how we can help overcome these traumas.

Study: Child abuse associates with increased recruitment of perineuronal nets
Study: ACEs are not equal

Edit: During our chat, we mentioned that a score of 6 or more on the ACE scale is considered high. However, the cutoff for a high score is actually 4.
