Intergenerational trauma
I've been reading this book : It didn't start with You by Mark Wolynn and it's awesome to explain how trauma is passed through the family. Your thoughts and behaviour may belong to ancestors whose trauma is stuck. Absolutely fascinating and liberating to look at another angle and how we may be reliving unresolved trauma in our family that is looking for resolution.

Re: Intergenerational trauma
@BraveOne there was a study done on Jewish holocaust survivors and their children and grandchildren and it actually showed that it was the grandchildren who suffered more mental health issues then their parents and grandparents. It is an interesting study which should be available online.

Re: Intergenerational trauma
@BraveOne Hello and Welcome to the forum.
There is a lot of work needed in this area. Acknowledged trauma, like the bushfires or a war, has a socially recognised existence, and concern and understanding is usually given by the community. It may only partly ameliorate the issues, but it is something, but if the source of trauma is not understood, then anxiety and uncertainty can accumulate, with out 'apparent' cause.
I came to understand both my parents diagnoses of severe mental illness as coming from trauma in their pasts. Still struggling with the consequences though.
