Family trauma
Family trauma refers to emotional, psychological, or physical harm experienced within a family, often resulting from significant events like abuse, neglect, conflict, loss, or betrayal. These experiences can deeply affect individuals’ mental health, trust, and relationships, sometimes causing long-lasting effects such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. Family trauma can be transmitted across generations through learned behaviors, unresolved issues, or genetic influences, impacting family dynamics and individual well-being. Addressing family trauma often requires understanding its root causes and seeking therapeutic support to promote healing and healthier connections.
