Unravel: Breaking the Cycle of Family Trauma

Trauma is a serious issue that can have a lasting impact on individuals and families. It can manifest in a variety of ways, including physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. Family trauma is particularly insidious, as it can create a cycle that is passed down from generation to generation.
However, there is hope for breaking this cycle. With the right help, individuals and families can learn to heal from their trauma and build healthier relationships.

The Cycle of Family Trauma

The cycle of family trauma begins with a traumatic event. This event can be anything from physical abuse to neglect to sexual assault. The trauma is then passed down from generation to generation through a variety of mechanisms. For example, children who witness abuse may be more likely to become abusers themselves. Or, children who grow up in neglectful homes may be more likely to neglect their own children.
The cycle of family trauma can have a devastating impact on individuals and families. It can lead to a variety of problems, including mental illness, addiction, relationship problems, and physical health problems.
