Generational Trauma: Epigenetics, The Mother Wound, & The Shadow
You swore you would never be like them. You promised yourself you wouldn't yell. You wouldn't drink. You wouldn't be absent. But then, in a moment of stress, you open your mouth and their voice comes out.
In this 20-minute masterclass, I'll dissect the biology and theology of Generational Trauma. We aren't just talking about "bad habits." We're talking about Epigenetics—the scientific proof that your grandfather's trauma is living in your DNA.
We explore Family Systems Theory and why you became the "Black Sheep" (Identified Patient), the Jungian concept of the Shadow Father, and the devastating impact of the Devouring Mother. We also deconstruct the "Fantasy Bond" that keeps you loyal to your abusers and provide a practical toolkit (The 90-Second Rule) to finally stop the bleeding.
If you're terrified of passing your dysfunction to your children, this episode is your manual for breaking the curse.
