Intergenerational Trauma

Are you struggling with the effects of intergenerational trauma?

Right now, you might be experiencing:

 

  • Unexplained Anxiety and Depression: High levels of anxiety and depression that don’t seem rooted in anything concrete.
  • Self-Doubt: Persistent self-doubt, especially since no one in your family will talk about what’s going on.
  • Self-Sabotaging Behaviors: Engaging in behaviors that harm you as a way to cope with the painful feelings inside.
  • Low Self-Esteem: A shaky sense of confidence and low self-esteem that holds you back.
  • Living in the Past: A sense that the past is living inside you, but with no clear understanding of how to resolve it.

You’ve started to recognize how unresolved intergenerational trauma is impacting your life:

  • Emotional Struggles: Difficulty feeling, expressing, and coping with your emotions, leaving you overwhelmed.
  • Heightened Anxiety: Living with a heightened sense of anxiety and hypervigilance that doesn’t match your current circumstances.
  • Relationship Confusion: Feeling confused about how to have healthy relationships, despite longing for them.
  • Discomfort in Your Body: An inability to feel comfortable in your body, preventing you from enjoying life.
  • Unexplained Physical Symptoms: Experiencing body aches, pains, and illnesses that don’t seem to reflect your self-care habits.

You’re wondering…

  • What is intergenerational trauma? Does what my family went through qualify?
  • How is it even possible that what my ancestors experienced is still impacting me?
  • How can I make the cycles stop with me? Is it too late?
  • How can I heal from intergenerational trauma if no one will talk about what really happened?
  • Will trauma therapy be helpful for someone like me?

You’re longing for…

  • Breaking the Cycle: The cycles stopping with you—a chance to not pass the trauma down to your own children.
  • Emotional Freedom: A life without anxiety and depression, where you feel emotionally stable.
  • Embodiment: Freedom, comfort, and ease in your body—an ability to actually feel embodied.
  • Healthy Relationships: The ability to seek out, maintain, and thrive in functional, healthy relationships.
  • Effective Coping: Healthier coping mechanisms and tools to handle painful feelings when they arise, rather than falling into the patterns your family has always followed.

What you’re longing for is possible.
