At this very moment, your health and lifestyle are directly guided by the growth and development stemmed from childhood teachings and observation. Both positive or negative have an enormous influence on future lifelong health with the right set of circumstances or a callous victimization mindset.
Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that the more stressors that an individual have experienced in their childhood are more likely to develop physical and emotional ailments in their adulthood. Traumatic episodes such as sexual abuse, mental illness in a parent, divorce, neglect, and domestic violence are linked to chronic related stress and obstacles. Chronic related stressors in the form of obesity and/or heart disease are responsible for a premature death that becomes a reality sooner than later.
As of recently and further acclaimed by Dr. Nadine Burke MD, who founded and is the charge of the Center for Youth Wellness in San Francisco, CA has spent over the years treating chronic stress and increasing awareness of childhood traumatic effects on long-term health, medically identified as Adverse Childhood Experiences. Here you may read the full extent of these findings at NY Times, or 2015 Ted Talk.

Many emotions that prohibit growth come from things that happened to us in the past that we have not faced or let go of. People walk through life hiding their true emotions to secure their feelings of safety because they have been taught by others to not show emotions that others consider inappropriate (Akua, 2010).
In Holistic Health, we relate our biochemical function made up of “emotions” to the effects of the body (brain matter). As you will see below how both positive and negative emotions lead to the functionality of our Organs.

Once emotions are expressed, a healthy person is able to move forward without damaging their physical bodies with emotional baggage (Akua, 2010). Think about it, these individuals are searching for acceptance of their feelings of love and security in order to rebuild self-esteem. They are also searching to find a way to express their deep, inner emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
It begins with you. Commence with a greater sense of awareness of the inspiring attributes or deafening ailments which were passed on in mirror images. With this information, childhood trauma does not have to comprise your continued growth as an adult in an unhealthy manner.
Reality in Consciousness begins at the very moment as the work is placed forth by your intent to grow and change for the betterment of self, aiding in the improvement of mankind!
