The Legacy of Trauma

The legacy of trauma refers to the lasting effects of traumatic experiences that can influence an individual’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being long after the event has occurred. This may manifest as ongoing stress, anxiety, or difficulty trusting others, and can sometimes be passed down through generations via behavioral patterns, beliefs, or even inherited biological changes. Essentially, trauma leaves a ripple effect that can shape a person’s life and relationships, emphasizing the importance of understanding and addressing these effects for healing and growth.
