Epigenetics & Generational Trauma – Can We Inherit Trauma?

Episode Summary:
In this episode, we explore the science of epigenetics and generational trauma. Can the trauma of our ancestors impact our genes and influence our emotions, health, and behaviors? We break down the biology of inherited trauma, review fascinating studies, and discuss how trauma is passed down through DNA.

Plus, we share healing techniques to break the cycle and create resilience for future generations.
