What are your reflections to the statement made by Felliti in the video clip, “what is conventionally viewed as a problem is actually a solution to an unrecognized prior adversity”?

Question 1- What are your reflections to the statement made by Felliti in the video clip, “what is conventionally viewed as a problem is actually a solution to an unrecognized prior adversity”?
Question 2- What were your general reactions to the findings of the ACE study? How does this connect to some of the other HBSE readings or HBSE films?

Question 3- This semester we have focused on the importance of growth-fostering relationships. In the article Relational Therapy for Trauma, Banks writes “it is the destruction of relationships that most interfere with recovery and healing” (p. 26). Please discuss how Banks’ perspective builds upon last week’s discussion.

Question 4- Brown writes, “The feminist standpoint asserts that the problem is situated not in the character of the suffering person, as is true for the construct of personality disorders; rather, it is viewed as a pattern of coping and survival in response to a traumagenic relational milieu” (p. 467). Pulling from the assigned readings, please expand upon the importance of this statement and to what degree it is consistent with the ideas around empowering social work practice? Feel free to further expand upon your discussion by identifying messages that contradict the feminist standpoint as articulated by Brown, and strategies we might employ as social workers to disrupt these contradictory messages.
