Just elaborate on that...? Okay. That ACE score is the number of individual traumas that person has. They would be checking. Are you living with someone who is suicidal? Yes. Have you been fondled sexually? Yes. Have you been living with someone who's physically abusive to you? Yes. Have you gone with dirty clothes and not enough food? Yes. There are 10 of those.
My recent client had 10 out of 10. He's suicidal.
Almost without exception, the measurement, when I'm doing my initial assessment, is that they're in severe psychological distress across seven mental health areas, which I can explain later. The issue becomes that it's a soul wound. Even on the moral injury that you were talking about earlier, the soul is the first missing component. The second missing component is the ability to actually release the trauma, which is actually forgiveness.
Globally, through all the major independent faith groups in 94% of the world's religions, no one really knows how to operationalize forgiveness. “Forgiveness” in Greek means to release, to let go, to no longer hold onto the events, which trauma is, which makes it 100% about the offended and 0% about the offender.
When I help these military people, I help them to release the offence with that definition, which means that it releases their soul from being captive. Then it actually shuts off your autonomic nervous system and the body heals. I can actually see this take place right before my eyes. They're no longer suicidal within two treatments like that.
