| Inherited Family Trauma is Not Destiny | Traumatic events and chronic stress and loss may be felt for generations. How does a parent’s personal account of experiencing trauma influence raising their child? When we normalize our pain, our children learn to do the same. A parent frequently experiencing acute stress responses without connecting to their trauma history may revert back to methods that kept them safe and in control when they were young and that may be fight, flight, and freeze acute stress responses. This presentation examines the characteristics of the “Stress Response Syndrome” and the impact on parenting and a family’s ability to achieve and maintain health and well-being. | 1.5 HOURS |
