If we have each other, if we support each other, we can face reality together!

Sharing a post from a couple years ago. Important to think of resilience as intergenerational too.

Now that’s empowering! We do know that trauma is passed on from generation to generation and can even alter DNA ( ) but it is rare to hear people talk about inter generational resilience. It makes so much sense though,, especially if your family is not the source of your trauma. Some professionals have been critical off the recent “fad” of focusing on ACEs and trauma because they feel that there is little we can do as professionals to address the factors that play a part in people’s trauma and that by pointing out there trauma with no solutions, we are further traumatizing them. While that is probably true of our healthcare system as it stands, I tend to disagree that we can’t do anything. It just means we need to function in a different way. Not judging, making people feel seen and heard, empowering them to develop skills in resilience AND utilizing the power of their positive relationships in their life.
