Transgenerational trauma or intergenerational trauma is a psychological term which asserts that trauma can be transferred in between generations. After the first generation of survivors experiences trauma, they are able to transfer their trauma to their children and further generations of offspring via complex post-traumatic stress disorder mechanisms.

What ties us to our ancestry, are the common stories we were told. What ties us to our family, our tribe. our community are the ties that bind. If these binds are stories of love upliftment, empowerment, and growth, then celebrate them hold them up and tell them into the next generation. However, if what binds you to your next generation with your past generation, is that of trauma,  creating a legacy of generational trauma. Then these stories must come to a full stop with you!

The work you must commit to is to say, No, for your immediate family. Your next generation. You are the gatekeeper for your future generation. It is time you break up with those trauma stories, it is time you break up with those generational trauma beliefs, ideology, and ideas.

It is crucial you do this work. Because the generational trauma is an ish, and it leaks into every area of our lives, it impacts the quality of the relationships we have. How we show up, the friends we make, who we are in this world. It can distort, dismiss, and diminish how we show up in the world and actually cause us great pain.

And that you cannot accept if not for you alone. And, doing it alone for you is the right thing. However, you are facing generational trauma stories for your children, your children\’s children. You\’re doing it to map out a brand new story. A story of triumph, a hope, a story of success and abundance, joy, love, intimacy, and happiness. You cannot sacrifice, all of that, at the altar of generational trauma.

Now is the time, more than ever, to create that commitment to ending generational trauma. Healing Your mother wound, your sister wound, your father wound. Healing all the wounds back to everybody down your line, so that it no longer interferes with the person you are becoming. It no longer interferes with the person you are today. And it is no longer the story of tomorrow.

Imagine if you will, for a moment, what your life, the lives of those you love down your line will be without the generational trauma? Hold that vision for a moment, and then ask yourself, Is it worth breaking up with a generational trauma today?
