Test Results

Your Score: 5

What it means: Your family may have done the best they could possibly do. However, you were exposed to a moderate amount of trauma that increases your risk of many different health factors. It is important for you to realize that IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT (no matter how good/bad you were as a kid) and that THERE IS HELP out there for you.

TRAUMA Therapy has shown in research to reduce/eliminate all of the things listed below. So don't read these statistics with hopelessness. Instead, look at these as motivation to get the help you deserve. TRAUMA Therapy can help prevent these issues before they even start! Compared with people with zero on this trauma test, those with a score of 4 (or higher) are:

Men are 30% more likely to suffer chronic depression and women are 42% more likely to suffer chronic depression
390 % more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema or chronic bronchitis)
240 % higher risk of a sexually-transmitted disease.
Twice as likely to be a smoker
12 times more likely to have attempted suicide
7 times more likely to be alcoholic
10 times more likely to have injected street drugs.

People with high ACE scores are more likely to be violent, to have more marriages, more broken bones, more drug prescriptions, more depression, more auto-immune diseases, and more work absences.

People who get therapy to work on these risk factors are able to reduce/eliminate all of them! So please consider getting help.
