Generational trauma refers to the transmission of trauma from one generation to the next. It can occur when individuals and communities experience trauma, such as war, oppression, or violence, which has long-lasting and often intergenerational effects.
The trauma can be passed down through cultural and biological means, impacting mental and physical health and creating a cycle of trauma. Generational trauma can manifest in various ways, including addiction, chronic illnesses, relationship difficulties, and mental health concerns.
Addressing generational trauma often involves acknowledging historical and systemic inequalities and trauma-informed care.
