Generational Trauma

Do you worry about how you will be a parent one day after being raised by abusive parents/guardians? Do you hope to break this cycle? Generational trauma is a form of trauma that is passed down from one generation to the next. This type of trauma can occur from a variety of things, such as war, natural disasters, abuse, or anything else that causes stress and trauma.
If you come from a family that has experienced generational trauma, you may find yourself struggling with a variety of issues. This can include anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. It's important to seek help if you're struggling, as there are ways to heal and process the trauma.
There is no one "right" way to heal from generational trauma. However, some things that may help include therapy, medication, support groups, and self-care. It's important to find what works for you and to be patient with yourself.
If you think you may be struggling with generational trauma, it's important to reach out for help. There are resources available to you and you don't have to go through this alone.
