Have you ever wondered how childhood experiences shape your life, health, and relationships?
Join us as we navigate this intriguing exploration with Diana Bishop, a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Certified Wellness Practitioner, and Trauma Therapist who offers a candid look into her life, recovery, and the transformative power of understanding trauma.
Diana’s healing journey, her expertise in health behavior change, and her partnerships with Dr. Vincent Fellitti for over 15 years in various capacities, including the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study.
In our conversation, we deeply dive into the ACE score— a measure of adverse childhood experiences, its health implications, and how it ultimately informs our coping mechanisms and susceptibility to addictions and illness. Diana affirms the importance of the mind-body connection and how it can enhance our physical and mental health care.
Lastly, you’ll hear how emotions like grief can quietly take residence within us and how crucial resources can aid those affected by trauma in rebuilding neurological connectors and fostering healthy relationships. Tune in for an enlightening exploration that promises to empower.
