Reply to "If you told your physician: "I have an ACE...or three or four", what would you want your doc to tell you?"

I'd want the doctor to be receptive and listen, not argue with me about it. I'd want him/her to ask clarifying questions about it and use active listening.

If I told my doctor, I'd want him to...

1) Validate.

2) Normalize ACEs.

3) Remind me that ACEs are not a death sentence, there is hope.

4) Build capacity in protective factors and evidence-based practices I can implement in my life to heal.

5) Follow up at next appointment.
