What is Generational Trauma, and How Can You Identify it in Your Life?

Generational trauma. This topic is a special one to me because once I learned about it, it changed my life. Generational trauma happens when emotional and psychological trauma is passed down through generations in a family or community. This can happen because of things like war, slavery, colonialism, sexual assault, famine, or forced migration that one's ancestors have experienced. It can show up in all sorts of ways, and usually, it affects people differently. In this blog post, I’ll dive deeper into generational trauma, how it can impact people, and some ways to identify it in your own life.
