This is just fabulous. Thank you so much. I am someone who had a lot of trauma and has done a lot of inner work so as to not repeat these patterns. This is all so affirming.

I also want to say that you are a wonderful interviewer. You are so good at listening and reflecting as well as offering respect. Thank you.

@kymberleedellaluce thank you so much, I'm really glad that you found it so useful, please feel free to share it wherever you can

Stef - as an interviewer I very much appreciate the way you allow the subjects to fully express their thoughts without interruption. Charlie Rose is a good example of a poor interviewer. He constantly interrupts and spends a lot of time expounding on his own thoughts.

[furyofbongos]

Also, your preparedness rivals and more often exceeds any professional interviewer. I've noticed that the interview subjects seem to respond positively to this, resulting in spirited responses to your questions and very rich content for the listener.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for doing this interview. I have watched some videos of Dr. Felitti he is doing great work. The questions and insight that is gleaned from this interview is import. As some one who has experienced severe trauma ACE-8 I have been fortunate enough to be doing well in life. I worked really hard to change things for me and my children. I have started a blog memoirofaredemptivelife.blogsp­ot.com. The focus is on surviving childhood trauma and experiencing a good life.

Ste what you drinking? If metal can you don't worry about salt in your lips interacting with metal and you drinking it? You must be taking chelating agents because you seem pretty smart. I don't see therapist bc I keep thinking I want kill her. I don't see men bc I want rape and harass all. I want to be good. I love shrink too much.

Oh my two brothers and uncle killed themselves. How it affect me? Uncle nothing. Latest bro IDK. First bro I sad sometimes and sometimes I wish join him. But I want go Fresh market and get mixed race brownie. My brain doesn't think right and I try hard be "normal" but I get neurotic and rubber band snap hard at times and scare people off. I have a pet multi-racial gum bear for 1 year. Excuse me I want normal if not extraordinary. Kill rude people.

[LietMonty]

i am 5-1/2...i was ritualistically raped but level II sex offender but i was intoxicated (given drugs/acolhol by him and he he secretly put his bodily fluids in drink to bing me via voodoo and told me after) and think i liked it at first so i do not know to count it as full. I get suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation when certain but general people try to interact with me. I want to stab them and cut myself. Listen Chief I am trying to get to video 4. Rude people here die!

I got a score of 1 on the ACE exam; possibly 2. As you said Stefan, the worst cases are shown on media & it means that people with a score of 1 or 2 are largely convinced they had a "normal" or "natural" childhood. Meaning, from the societal pressures, they end up taking ownership of a lot of traumas & it effects them immensely. I, for example, still feel I have no "right" to externalize my problems because people have it worse. I end up internalizing all my mistakes & that I can't change them.
