We all know that trauma is our response to a terrible event we've personally experienced. What you may not realize is that the effects of this trauma can be passed on to our children in the form of intergenerational trauma. In this collection, you'll discover the link between epigenetics and the inheritance of trauma, learn how socio-political issues develop into trauma—and more importantly—find methods to break this cycle of trauma in your family to begin the healing process.
