What Is Intergenerational Trauma?
Intergenerational trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, and sometimes even physical wounds that are passed down from one generation to the next. These patterns don’t start with us—yet they often shape how we cope, how we communicate, and how we show up in our relationships and families.
How Is It Passed Down?
Trauma can be transmitted through:
• Learned behaviors and coping styles
• Family beliefs and narratives about emotions, safety, and identity
• Unresolved grief, stress, and survival patterns that children absorb
• Biological stress responses that can impact future generations
We may carry pieces of our ancestors’ experiences without even realizing it.
Are You Interested in Learning How to Break the Cycle?
I’m exploring interest in a 4-week virtual workshop where we will:
• Understand intergenerational trauma
• Explore its impact on our lives and relationships
• Learn practical, healing-focused strategies
• Use the book Break the Cycle by Dr. Mariel Buqué as our guide
If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, drop a “💚” in the comments or send me a message!
Healing is possible—and it can start with us.
