This short video clip of Oprah and Dr. Bruce Perry about childhood trauma brings forth a whole new perspective on how to view and approach making a significant difference in the world.
Dr. Perry said, “That same sensitivity that makes it possible for a young child to learn language very quickly is also the same sensitivity that makes them highly vulnerable to chaos, abuse, threat, inconsistency, and violence, which can also lead to developmental trauma. If a child is raised in a nurturing and well-cared-for environment, then they will most likely have a well-wired brain. On the other hand, if a child that is raised in an environment in chaos, uncertainty, abuse, neglect or violence, then their brain is being wired differently. Typically these children have a much higher rate for mental health problems, doing poorly in school, and difficulty functioning in the world.”
Oprah had come to the conclusion that “As a society we have been looking at the wrong thing. You can help people get jobs and retrain them, but if you don’t fix the hole in the soul where the problem started, you’re working at the wrong things. So instead of saying, “What is wrong with you?” we should be asking, “What happened to you?”
Learning how to restore balance in the brainstem can help both children and adults reverse the impact of childhood adversity. With this in mind, I invite you to explore some of the ICWIB! art activities and videos for FREE because they contain the necessary components needed to restore balance in the brain stem.
Also, in a recent interview, Dr. Bruce Lipton said, “Freedom is the ability to create without the limitation of generational programming. The I Create What I Believe! (ICWIB!) Program is a gateway and a pathway into a new and better future because it allows children to fully express themselves and to not be limited by the beliefs that have been passed down from generation to generation. This program also frees up children’s minds and allows their creative nature to create a better world for all of us, which is what we need right now!”
