Feelin Weird

79. Intergenerational Trauma


Listen Later

Carl M. tells the story of his father's chaotic and traumatic life (and how that affected Carl).  Carl's grandfather abandoned the family and Carl's grandmother was mentally unstable and thus, Carl's father spent most of his own childhood physically ill and in institutions (hospitals and foster care).  We discuss, directly and indirectly, the concept of intergenerational trauma and how our parents' and grandparents' pain and trauma lives in us and affects our lives.

We also discuss: 
electro-shock therapy, 
psychiatric institutions, 
Carl's bipolar diagnosis, 
mental illness, 
family and instability, 
emotionally distant fathers, 
reconnecting with Carl's father and becoming friends, 
asthma and other illness, 
our parents' limitations, 
and MORE!
