I'm sure that title probably made you ask the following question. "What is an ACE Score?" Glad you asked! ACE stands for adverse childhood experience. The score attempts to determine how many adverse experiences an individual has had in their childhood because the higher the score, the greater the risk of having some serious health conditions later in life.
While most humans wait until these conditions show up and then want medications to fix the health condition, few realize just how much impact these early experiences had upon our life. If we realize the impact they had upon our life, we are often led to believe there is little we can do about them now, short of taking medications and going through medical procedures. However, this is not necessarily the case.
It does not require that you have been through horrendous trauma as a child because at the end of the day, trauma is trauma. Yes, the more you have to deal with from childhood, the more difficult the challenge to overcome it. We've all got something in our past most likely and instead of looking at it as a badge of honor or something to run away from, we should learn how to deal with it in our life.
