The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood

The Deepest Well: Healing the Long-Term Effects of Childhood Adversity

â€œAn extraordinary, eye-opening book.â€ â€”People

"A rousing wake-up call . . . this highly engaging, provocative book prove[s] beyond a reasonable doubt that millions of lives depend on us finally coming to terms with the long-term consequences of childhood adversity and toxic stress.â€ â€”Â Michelle Alexander, author ofÂ The New Jim Crow

Dr. Nadine Burke Harris was already known as a crusading physician delivering targeted care to vulnerable children. But it was Diego â€” a boy who had stopped growing after a sexualÂ assault â€” who galvanized her journey to uncover the connections between toxic stress and lifelong illnesses.

The stunning news of Burke Harrisâ€™s research is just how deeply our bodies can be imprinted by ACEsâ€”adverse childhood experiences like abuse, neglect,Â parental addiction, mental illness, and divorce. ChildhoodÂ adversityÂ changes ourÂ biologicalÂ systems, and lasts a lifetime.Â For anyone who has faced a difficult childhood, or who cares about the millions of children who do, the fascinating scientific insight and innovative, acclaimed health interventions inÂ The Deepest WellÂ represent vitally important hope for preventingÂ lifelong illness for those we love and for generations to comeâ€‹.Â

Â â€œNadine Burke Harris . . . offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of us heal ourselves, our children, and our world.â€Â â€”Â Paul Tough, author ofÂ How Children Succeed
