Generational Trauma
Generation Trauma is the consequence of living with traumatic events and memories that were unintentionally passed on from generation to generation. The traumatic events can range from parenting styles, the way your parents related to you, punishment styles, or even life's obstacles they walked through. The beliefs, nervous systems, and views based on these events get passed down.
It may manifest in several ways– as disassociation, estrangement, addiction, etc.– with children who either partook in the trauma or directly experienced it.
Here are a few ways to heal from generational trauma....
Reparent your inner child.
Learn to love yourself exactly where you are in life.
When you recognize the trauma pattern, take the opportunity to break it.
Talk about it with someone who creates a safe space.
If you are the cycle breaker for your family, it's good to have a support system. Consider reaching out to our therapists here at Life By Design Therapy.
