Generational trauma & Holistic Wellbeing

Often complex & unnoticed it can Hugely impact your Health & Wellbeing

How ? Read on ….

Generational trauma - also called: Ancestral or inter-generational trauma - can negatively impact

you through Habits you either developed yourself or “Copied” from those around you, beliefs,

mindsets and behaviours - and that happens often unconsciously -

Sounds familiar ?? Generational trauma is resulting from Adverse, Traumatic or Negatively impactful

situations or events from your own or your relatives’ or care takers’ childhood days.

Can you relate to that ?

Generational trauma. Personally, I very much relate & looking back there’s been lots there for

me - here are only 4 points from a long list:

- I was born & raised in (East) Germany back in the late 1970's early 80's under a communist

regime & scarcity mindset

- I remember my Mum & us living with constant concern & threat of being reported to the

‘State Security’ (aka ‘Stasi’) so we somehow always had “our guard up”

- my father (an engineer) suffered with depression and took his own life when I was only 4 years; by age 7 my Mum remarried; when I was 15 my step-dad had a stroke & died, followed by grand-dad’s suicide only one week later

- our Maths teacher in year 1 & 2 literally put his hands under our tops ...

Speaks to you? Read on how it impacted me...

How did this affect & impact my own Health & my Holistic Wellbeing ?

- I was very shy, insecure & timid as a child & teenager, often ill, not speaking up but afraid to express my needs

- Secretly started smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol in my mid teens

- it got more & more in my 20's

- I developed an Unhealthy relationship with food

- letting comfort eating turn to over-eating - leading to unhealthy weight gain -- and emotionally disconnecting

- Looking back, I often wanted to be accepted, hence often pleased others and found myself in relationships with the “wrong man” (often narcissistic)

- Diagnosed with severe IBS, Anxiety & Depression with a first BurnOut in my late 20s, impacted by it for years, a 2nd BurnOut & a PMDD diagnosis, and there was more ....
