Transgenerational experience, intergenerational transmission of trauma, and psychotherapy

Transgenerational scenarios live “in the shadows” — in unspeakable losses, in the concealment of family secrets, in repeated scenarios and roles (“savior,” “guilty party,” “hope of the family”), in dramatic relationships, and in physical symptoms. Exploring these contours provides insight into where there is support in one’s personal history and where there are knots that need to be untangled.

We cannot change the past, but we can change our attitudes and the rules we live by — so that we do not pass on to our children what we ourselves did not want to inherit.

As children, we didn’t always have a choice.
Now we do.
