The Deepest Well
Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity

Dr. Harris reviews, in depth, the research (hers and others’) on ACES and the physical and emotional harms they can cause, as well as the mechanisms in the body that create them. She describes the effects of toxic stress in her own life and in other case studies; and proposes approaches for medical professionals and carers as well as lifestyle changes for those affected to help ameliorate these harms. A difficult subject, handled thoroughly in a manner that may lead towards changes in our children’s and our own quality of life.

Great book, Dr. Nadine Harris does an amazing job explaining and going into depth about the ACE’s and the impact that the invents can have on an individual. I would suggest it to anyone new to the social work or therapy field. I was surprised with how easy the book was to follow along and how much it actually sucks you in. It is more of an informative book than a self healing book so the title is a little misleading but still really good!
