Intergenerational Trauma
Some wounds are inherited, not chosen.
Trauma doesn't always begin with you—it can be passed down through stories, silence, and survival patterns. You may carry burdens that aren't fully yours or repeat dynamics you never consciously chose. This space helps you understand inherited wounds with compassion, break long-held cycles, and reconnect with the strengths your lineage carries.
