Welcome back to the Fake Ass Book Club!! This week the ladies have , self proclaimed hair therapist (professionally licensed hair stylist), current student of clinical mental health counseling, business owner and author, Kyla Thompson @kyla.juan, as a guest. For discussion, Kyla selected a book from her class "The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity" by Dr. Nadine Burke Harris. The author discusses ACEs in her book: *Adverse Childhood Experiences * like abuse, neglect, parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce; she contends that ACEs literally change our biological system and inform our health outcomes. Whoa, that's deep! Please stay tuned as the ladies discuss the healing power of unpacking childhood trauma and prioritizing mental health and wellness. No amount of wealth, or being a "Boss Bitch" or taking "No Days Off" will exempt you from the effect of toxic stress. So why not start here?
