6. Childhood Disrupted: How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology, and How You Can Heal
Feature
Childhood Disrupted How Your Biography Becomes Your Biology and How You Can HealDescription
A courageous, compassionate, and rigorous every-persons guide (Christina Bethell, PhD, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health) that shows the link between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and adult illnesses such as heart disease, autoimmune disease, and cancerChildhood Disrupted also explains how to cope and heal from these emotional traumas.Your biography becomes your biology. The emotional trauma we suffer as children not only shapes our emotional lives as adults, but it also affects our physical health, longevity, and overall wellbeing. Scientists now know on a bio-chemical level exactly how parents chronic fights, divorce, death in the family, being bullied or hazed, and growing up with a hypercritical, alcoholic, or mentally ill parent can leave permanent, physical fingerprints on our brains.
When children encounter sudden or chronic adversity, stress hormones cause powerful changes in the body, altering the bodys chemistry. The developing immune system and brain react to this chemical barrage by permanently resetting childrens stress response to high, which in turn can have a devastating impact on their mental and physical health as they grow up.
Donna Jackson Nakazawa shares stories from people who have recognized and overcome their adverse experiences, shows why some children are more immune to stress than others, and explains why women are at particular risk. Groundbreaking (Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance) in its research, inspiring in its clarity, Childhood Disrupted explains how you can reset your biologyand help your loved ones find ways to heal. A truly important gift of understandingilluminates the heartbreaking costs of childhood trauma and like good medicine offers the promising science of healing and prevention (Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart).
7. Saving Sammy: A Mother's Fight to Cure Her Son's OCD
Description
The story of one mothers fight against the medical establishment to prove the link between infection-triggered PANDAS and her sons sudden-onset OCD and Tourette syndrome.
The summer before entering sixth grade, Sammy, a bright and charming boy who lived on the coast of Maine, suddenly began to exhibit disturbing behavior. He walked and ate with his eyes shut, refused to bathe, burst into fits of rage, slithered against walls, and used his limbs instead of his hands to touch light switches, doorknobs, and faucets.
Sammys mother, Beth, already coping with the overwhelming responsibility of raising three sons alone, watched helplessly as her middle child descended into madness. Sammy was soon diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and later with Tourette syndrome. Unwilling to accept the doctors prognoses for lifelong mental illness and repeated hospitalizations, Beth fought to uncover what was causing this decline. Beths quest took her to the center of the medical communitys raging debate about whether OCD and Tourette syndrome can be caused by PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). With the battle lines firmly drawn, Beth searched until she found two cutting-edge doctors who answered that question with a definitive yes. Together, they cured Sammy. Five years later, he remains symptom free.
