How to Identify Transgenerational Trauma
Tools like genograms (detailed family trees) can help reveal patterns of trauma and how they might be impacting your life today.
Steps Towards Healing
Healing from transgenerational trauma starts with feeling safe, learning healthy coping skills, and building self-awareness.
