These Three Parts Explain Every Reaction You’ve Ever Had

from But Are You Happy? · host Mamamia Podcasts

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Why am I reacting exactly like my mother right now?” In this episode of But Are You Happy, hosts Ashani Dante and Dr. Anastasia Hronis pull back the curtain on intergenerational trauma. We’re moving beyond the surface level to explore the "ghosts" in your DNA - the ones that make you react to a minor inconvenience like it’s a family-wide emergency. You'll also learn: How trauma is physically passed down through your genes Why the goal isn't to "delete" your difficult parts How to determine if you grew up in a "military-grade" or "survival of the fittest" household Ways to notice the patterns of intergenerational trauma to avoid repeating them  Watch the podcast on YouTube here.
