The ACE Quiz
Adverse Childhood Experiences
You may be interested in attending one of our live workshops. Rest assured, we do not discuss personal experiences as a group. However, just the exercises and techniques alone can stir up our emotions. This is natural, and can be quite freeing, but how do you decide if one of our dynamic workshops is right for you?
Taking this simple ACE Quiz can help you gauge for yourself just how much of a trauma load you might be carrying.
This will lead you to clearer choices about your Emotional Hygiene, and how to fill your individual needs.
