TRIGGER WARNING: We touch on the topic of sexual assault and other topics that listeners might find difficult.

Have you ever felt stuck in your life, feeling like everybody is achieving more than you are? Have you ever felt shame about your background, your family, the way you were brought up? This could be linked to intergenerational trauma, listen to this episode to learn more!

You will learn about:

• Intergenerational trauma and how it gets passed down 
• Patterns of intergenerational trauma in our respective families (abandonment trauma and toxic relationships)
•  Intergenerational trauma affects us, friends, neighbours, colleagues and almost everyone in our communities
• Unresolved trauma as an explanation of the intergenerational “curse” seen in families
• Some lasting adult struggles that come from intergenerational trauma
• Choosing oneself, rejecting the family template and consciously choosing to create something healthier that what you received
• How doing the work of healing and freeing yourself from past trauma can heal the people around you
