Resumen del Editor

Shift your perspective. Go from victim to survivor by understanding how intergenerational trauma works and taking active steps to end the trauma cycle. Family is often depicted as the cornerstone of existence, yet what happens when undercurrents of trauma, broken trust, and unaddressed pain run through yours? Family trauma is intergenerational in nature–unless it is addressed, it is passed down from one generation to the next. It is internalized, absorbed, and manifested through behaviors and coping mechanisms that can be dysfunctional.

You may wonder if you can undo profound pain or mend bridges broken by others in the past. The weight of intergenerational trauma may seem like a force that is too powerful to contend with. Yet you can write an entirely new narrative. By taking an honest look at your family and yourself, you can identify the patterns you wish to end and avoid handing them down to the next generation. Break the cycle by starting at the very beginning.
