Episode 1: Intergenerational Trauma
In our powerful first episode, we're diving deep into a topic that touches many of us: Intergenerational Trauma.
What is Generational Trauma?
It's the emotional and psychological effects of traumatic events that are passed down through generations. This can stem from family struggles, community-wide issues, or the lasting impacts of historical events like colonization. These survival responses, whether showing up as heightened anxiety, difficulty with trust, or internalized beliefs about our skin, hair, and language, can become cycles we unconsciously inherit.
But cycles can be broken. And it starts with a conversation.
Join Gabrielle and Meiva as they bring their clinical expertise and cultural wisdom to this vital discussion. They'll explore:
🔹 The misconceptions about trauma.
🔹 How trauma connects to our identity—our language, skin color, and hair texture.
🔹 The patterns people are actively working to break.
🔹 What everyone should know about the path to healing.
