The Impact of Trauma on Relationships and Outlook on Life.
TL;DR
Generational trauma refers to the lingering effects of intense short-term or chronic stressors felt by a family or community. Symptoms of generational trauma can include depression, anxiety, or distrust of certain groups or institutions. Conventional one-on-one therapy may not always be the right way to help those suffering from generational trauma. Safe groups where people can heal from rejection or loss they’ve experienced can be more effective. Community healing spaces can also be helpful in addressing generational trauma.
