Quieting the Suffering Pathways in Your Brain & Impact of Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Scores


Freeing yourself from chronic pain can be a frustrating, demoralizing experience. So often we tackle the symptoms of pain, while their root causes remain a mystery. In this episode, the Amens discuss the role that trauma plays in creating pain in both the brain and the body, as well as interventions that address the root cause of the trauma. You will learn about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) scores, and what these numbers may tell you about yourself. You will also learn about why EMDR has been so successful in reducing the lingering effects of emotional trauma, and thus eliminating emotion and physical pain.

ADHD & The Female Brain (The Answers!)


In this week’s short video, Dr. Daniel Amen and his wife Tana Amen talk about ADHD and how it differs in males and females. They’ll also share practical tips that you can implement in your life right now. ADHD is commonly thought of as a disorder of hyperactive, behaviorally troubled boys. Yet, it afflicts many girls who are often overlooked because they tend not to be as hyperactive and have fewer behavior problems.

In fact, although females have ADHD in high numbers, males are diagnosed three to four times more than females. Missing ADHD in females can have devastating lifelong effects on their health, mood, relationships, career, and finances. Females with ADHD suffer more than 7 times the risk for both antisocial and mood disorders, three times the risk for addictive disorders, and twice the risk for anxiety disorders than those who do not have ADHD. Additionally, they have a higher risk for eating disorders, such as bulimia and obesity. But there’s good news—you are NOT stuck with the brain you have!

Breaking Through Emotional & Physical Pain & EMDR Therapy


Pain, whether physical or emotional, is a part of life. As humans we are wired to act quickly on these warning signals to get out of pain as quickly as possible. However, some of the actions we take to reduce or eliminate pain in the short term can actually make the pain worse in the long term. In this episode, Daniel and Tana discuss how some quick fixes, such as certain painkillers, act on the brain and body, and how other interventions, such as EMDR therapy, address the root cause to keep pain away for good.
