Are you struggling with the effects of intergenerational trauma?
Right now, you may be experiencing:
- Patterns of anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties that seem to run in your family
- A sense of carrying burdens or emotional legacies from previous generations, even if you don’t fully understand them
- Unexplained fears, phobias, or anxieties that don’t seem connected to your own life experiences
- Difficulty breaking free from family scripts, expectations, or dysfunctional dynamics
- A feeling of being haunted by family secrets, unspoken grief, or unresolved conflicts from the past
- Physical symptoms or health issues that mirror those experienced by traumatized ancestors
- Repeating patterns of behavior (addiction, abuse, emotional unavailability) seen in previous generations
You’re realizing that intergenerational trauma might be getting in the way of your life:
- You feel stuck in family patterns, unable to create the life or relationships you truly desire
- Your emotional responses sometimes feel disproportionate or confusing, possibly reflecting inherited trauma
- You struggle with a sense of identity or belonging, feeling disconnected from your family history or burdened by it
- Your parenting is influenced by unresolved issues from your own upbringing and your parents’ pasts
- You feel a sense of responsibility for healing something larger than just your own experiences
- Despite your best efforts, you find yourself repeating mistakes or struggles from your family’s past
You’re wondering…
- Is it really possible to inherit trauma? How does that even work?
- How can I heal from something that didn’t even happen directly to me?
- Can I break these cycles for myself and future generations?
- How much of my struggle is mine, and how much belongs to my family history?
- Will understanding my family’s trauma help me heal?
- Could EMDR help address these deep, inherited patterns?
You’re longing for…
- Freedom from the invisible burdens and legacies of past generations.
- The ability to live your own life, guided by your own values and choices, not just family history.
- Understanding and compassion for yourself and your family members, past and present.
- Healing the roots of recurring patterns that cause suffering in your family line.
- A sense of empowerment to create a different future for yourself and your descendants.
- Integration of your family history in a way that fosters resilience rather than limitation.
