"Getting Off the Generational-Trauma Bus" with Dr. Ghazaleh Bailey

When people experience trauma, they often share that trauma and their reactions to it with those closest to them. Research has also shown that response to trauma and the resulting mental health issues that come with it can be passed down generationally. Dr. Ghazaleh Bailey discusses how trauma is passed down generationally and even epigenetically. Dr. Bailey is a certified therapist, couple's therapist, supervisor, and trainer with a PhD in Psychology. She is based in Berlin, Germany, and has a unique multi-cultural background and approach that she uses to help people overcome childhood and generational trauma. Her work and research focuses on the healing power of emotion transformation and self-compassion.
