Generational trauma is passed down through history, from grandmothers to mothers to daughters. It stems from centuries of suppression, where the feminine was not safe to express its full wisdom and intuition. This has left a lasting impact on the feeling of safety women experience today.

In this episode, Lorin explores ways to begin to heal this generational trauma, by understanding and acknowledging it. For women, their work is to avoid suppressing the emotions that arise, and to disidentify with them and from the trauma they stem from.

And for men, their work is to stop invalidating the feelings of the women in their lives – to hold space for them, and not dismiss them.

The awakened feminine and masculine can work together to break the cycle where women feel unsafe to be themselves – to heal the trauma and pain, to avoid passing it down, and to live more fulfilled lives.
