For your discussion this week, watch Dr. Nadine Burke Harris’ 16 min. video, How Childhood Trauma Affects Health Across a Lifetime and go through this week’s PPT presentation covering trauma and two different ACE’s, Adverse Childhood Experiences and Adverse Community Environments.
Please share two takeaways in your discussion post- one from the video and one from the PPT presentation. These takeaways can be something that you are more curious about and want to research more after viewing the video and going through the PPT, something that you found interesting, and/or something that you learned from the material.
================================
For this reflection, you will have an opportunity to practice one the core happiness boosting activities, practicing gratitude, by identifying someone such as a family member or friend who has done something for you for which you are extremely grateful but may have not fully expressed your level of gratitude. (This should be someone different than the person you interviewed last week.)
Consider someone or something that isnt always on your mind but when you think of it you realize that it impacted you.
1)Write a 5-10 sentence gratitude letter or card for this person and share what the person did or the attributes that you admire about them, why you are grateful, and how this has impacted your life. Try to be as concrete as possible.
2)Set up a time to read your letter or card to the person in-person, by phone, or FaceTime and pay attention to the persons reaction and your own. Take time to process your feelings after the letter is read. Be sure to also send the letter or card to the person by mail or email so they can have record of it.
In your reflection, please share:
what the person did or the attributes you admire about them,
how this has impacted you,
what your experience was writing the letter/card and sharing it with the person, and
what your feelings about this activity are and if you feel it will be a beneficial exercise to you in the future.
Again, the purpose of the Happiness Reflections is to allow you to engage in an exercise and reflect on its personal meaning to you. Please submit reflections as a 1 1/2-2-page paper using a 12 pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced with your name, the assignment title, and date included in the upper-left hand corner of the first page.
