How Trauma Affects the Body: Reflections from Dr. Eric Ball [acesaware.org]
By Eric H. Ball, ACEs Aware, March 15, 2021 Our four-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Everly, was recently killed. Everly was an amazing dog and a true member of our family. She was well-trained and worked as a therapy dog at our local church. She especially liked the days when she would visit homeless or foster children. Everly slept in the same bed as our 12-year-old daughter. She was a great “big sister” to our 4-month-old puppy, who came to us just six weeks before Everly died.
