Generational Trauma & Narcissistic Abuse

I’ll explain the difference between intergenerational trauma and transgenerational trauma, and how the former refers to the projection of trauma from past generations onto the present, while the latter is the literal passing down of trauma at a cellular level. I also discuss my work with Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems and how these tools can look at the experience of the body whilst we are going through life, and allow us to redefine our experience of what has happened in our life, as we can never change what has happened to us in the past, but what we can do is change our experience of it. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12.0pt 0cm 12.0pt 0cm;"> <strong><span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0e101a; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> What you will learn in this episode:</span></strong></p> <ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "color: #0e101a; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> How generational trauma impacts us in the present</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "color: #0e101a; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style= "font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Why healing yourself will help the next generation</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "color: #0e101a; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style= "font-si
