From the devastation of the service industry to never-ending central bank intervention, these factors make predicting the future of the economy nearly impossible.This episode is sponsored by Crypto.com, Bitstamp and Nexo.io.The “three-body problem” is a physics issue that deals with unpredictable futures. In a recent essay, John Mauldin argues the economy is actually experiencing an “eight-body problem.” On today’s episode, NLW explores each of those dimensions shaping the challenge we face, including:Central bank interventionThe destruction of the service industryThe implosion of global trade In the end, he argues that in a world ruled by chaos, fighting to control the narrative might be the only rational move. Read Ben Hunt’s essay “The Three-Body Problem.”
More on InterventionThe purpose of this podcast is to provide more detailed insight into the process of intervention which requires a total commitment and is much more complicated than we see on TV.The overriding goal of an intervention is to get the addict/alcoholic to accept help and go into treatment.You will use the immense power of the group to achieve your purpose.You will use the power of love which cannot be denied and cuts through resistance and overpowers defiance.Readiness is everything: teambuilding, education, inviting people who care for him into the circle.Have them share their love and concern by reading their prepared letters out loud.And this part is why you are all there: offer the option of either treatment today or lack of future support for their current lifestyle.

IN THIS EPISODE:Adverse Childhood Experiences: A Roadmap To Understanding And TreatmentShow NotesAdverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES)ACES was a ground breaking study where over 17,000 members of a Kaiser Permanente HMO were surveyed about childhood exposure to trauma. They were asked about ten areas: Physical abuse Sexual abuse Emotional abuse Physical neglect Emotional neglect Mother treated violently Household substance abuse Household mental illness Parental separation or divorce Incarcerated household member FindingsThe study found that Adverse Childhood Experiences were common. They tended to occur together. And finally the higher the number of them an individual was exposed to the more predictive they were of future health, social and behavioral problems. Subsequent studies have confirmed these findings and continue to expand our understanding of the prevalence of exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences across different populations and geography. InterventionThe strong links to future health, social and behavioral problems has called attention to the need for interventions to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences and to treat individuals that already have an exposure to them. Interventions are being implemented in education, criminal justice, social services and many other areas. Some pediatricians are screening mothers and kids to identify risks and vulnerabilities or to understand behavior problems. Many schools focus on creating trauma-focused classrooms that help kids calm their nervous systems in order to allow them to focus on learning. ConclusionThese exposures can become signposts or “witness marks” to point us toward where attention and treatment are needed to reduce future risks RESOURCES: (https://www.therapistuncensored.com/resources/) Additional resources for this episode: ACES: Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/acestudy/) Once you have your ACES Score, go here to understand what it means.
