Inherited Pain: Understanding Epigenetics and Trauma

In this episode of 'A Little Bit Psychic,' host Elani Engelken, a depth psychotherapist and somatic healer, delves into the fascinating topic of epigenetics. Elani explains how intergenerational trauma is transmitted through gene expression and affects individuals' psychological and physical well-being. She discusses the overwhelming yet liberating realization for clients that their symptoms may be linked not only to personal experiences but also to familial and ancestral trauma. By integrating Carl Jung's concepts of persona and shadow, Elani emphasizes the importance of holistic and integrative healing approaches to address both nature and nurture. She shares personal insights and encourages listeners to explore their ancestral history and body symptomology to start their healing journeys.
