What the Eff Now: ACES Part 3

After The Tones Drop

Over the course of these two episodes, we hope we've done a sufficient job in helping our listeners understand what Adverse Childhood Experiences are, how they impact our developing brain and how our childhood experiences affect our now with the nesting doll concept.

In this final episode for our ACES series, we're really going to talk about, what to do about it now. Just because we've done these certain behaviors or reacted this way does not mean that we can't learn something new. We can adapt and grow. Our brains are miraculous. This is why we're obsessed with the brain, because it can morph and change, and this is where neuroplasticity comes in. The idea that despite whatever development our brain has already had, we can still create different pathways, new ways of thinking, it can adapt to healthier ways of being if that's what we choose.

These examples and more are discussed in this episode to assist you in understanding our potential, to reshape our brains and establish fresh neural connections through neuroplasticity. So, for our esteemed first responders, it's essential to remember that regardless of our prior experiences and conduct, we can acquire new perspectives and behaviors. Although it may require time, dedication, and purposeful effort, the opportunity for adaptation and personal growth is ever-present. By centering our attention on the present, recognizing our achievements, and practicing kindness towards both ourselves and others, we can rewire our brains and foster positive transformation.
