In this episode, Frank and Matthias explore the idea that trauma can be passed down from parents to children. They discuss how both genetics and the family environment play a role in this process. The conversation covers how messages and behaviors from parents and grandparents can affect a person’s stress levels and reactions, even if the person didn't directly experience the trauma themselves. Frank and Matthias explain how trauma can change the way genes work and how these changes can be inherited.
