PACE SCOREs, Explained
Our past may have shaped us, but it can also reshape us.
Positive & Adverse Childhood Experiences or PACE scores are a way of measuring the impact of traumatic childhood experiences.
-
Research has shown that higher Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE scores) are associated with a significantly greater risk of negative physical, mental and social health outcomes in adulthood.
Whereas Positive Childhood Experiences (PCE scores) promote safe, stable and nurturing relationships and are associated with greater positive outcomes later in life.
PCE scores have the potential to negate the detrimental effects from high ACE scores. We cannot change what’s happened in our past or think out way out of it. We can however, through a somatic mind and body approach, change our relationship with, and the meaning we give to it.
As part of our trauma informed framework, we will work with you to evaluate your PACE scores to see how your experiences have shaped the state of your nervous system and impacted the structures, behaviours and perceptions of your body and your life.
