Intergenerational Trauma
What is Generational trauma?
Intergenerational trauma is transmitted through generations, affecting individuals' understanding, coping, and healing. Symptoms include emotional numbness, trust issues, and unhealthy boundaries. To address this, therapists create safe environments and assess clients holistically. Building resilience, cultural sensitivity, and systemic change are crucial in breaking the cycle of trauma. Recognising disproportionate impacts on certain groups is essential in therapy.
