Episode 37: Inherited Wounds: The Impact of Generational Trauma

In this episode, Charlene and Tonya discuss the long-term impacts previous generations might impose on individuals and families. They explore the field of epigenetics, which studies how genes are expressed in response to trauma. The discussion highlights the potential for dysfunctional family dynamics to foster maladaptive coping mechanisms. The conversation also covers a range of profound topics that contribute to trauma, including poverty, war, violence, addiction, racism, and the ramifications of the recent global pandemic. This episode emphasizes the innate ability of individuals to initiate healing by recognizing and discontinuing the traits they wish not to perpetuate. The hope is that this conversation will inspire action to cease any behaviors that are detrimental to one's family and the current generation.
