One book that really resonated with me was "The Deepest Well" about the epidemic of childhood trauma and its deep and measurable impact on health outcomes for adults. I learned that resolving childhood trauma would help on the order of curing cancer in terms of health outcomes in our society

This stuff is almost too scary for me to read. My childhood was awful and only around age 30 did my life start to get "better".

Are children more traumatized now than in the past? Seems like the past was harder on children.

They will say the same thing in 100 years.

I think it was probably worse during the industrial era and probably a lot better during hunter gatherer times. Not sure about agricultural times.

I had the same experience reading that book. It’s amazing that even though these effects are well documented, they aren’t really taught in medical school. I’ve never come across a doctor who knew anything about it. It’s really incredible and disheartening. Even when people advocate for “trauma-informed care”, they’re just talking about avoiding retraumatization. They never talk about the health consequences of trauma.

Who says that? I think it’s only a question from the commenter above.

The effects of trauma are not new. What's new is we have a deeper understanding of how it comes about, what the long-term effects are on both an individual and societal level, and what can be done to prevent or remedy it.
