Abstract— Adverse childhood experiences (ACE), based on data from more than 0.25 million subjects, were found to be linked to an increased risk for adult anxiety and depression, as well as mental health issues. ACEs were observed to leave a lasting imprint on the minds and bodies of individuals. The methodology known as Healing the Child Within, involving regression to specific ACE events to address the mind-body imprint, is explored. By addressing these imprints, the study aimed to reduce anxiety and depression and, thus, overall well-being.

(aka Russell C. Davis, Ph.D.)

Reframing is a simple but potent technique that may be used by a therapist to gain resolution to “unfinished” issues which continue to traumatize a client/patient.

One example cited involved the use of reframing by a Veterans Administration therapist who was using this technique when working with Vietnam veterans who were hospitalized for PTSD.
