Intergenerational Trauma Therapy at Resilient Mind
Trauma has a profound impact, not only on those who experience it firsthand but also on subsequent generations. This is the essence of intergenerational trauma—the transmission of emotional and psychological scars from one generation to the next. At Resilient Mind Psychotherapy, located in the heart of Brooklyn, we specialize in providing compassionate and effective therapy to help individuals break free from the cycles of inherited trauma.

What is Intergenerational Trauma?
Intergenerational trauma refers to the psychological effects passed down from those who experienced traumatic events to their descendants. This trauma can stem from various sources, including war, systemic oppression, abuse, or significant loss. Often, individuals affected by intergenerational trauma may not recognize its influence on their behaviors, emotions, and relationships.
Symptoms may manifest as:
- Anxiety or depression without an apparent cause.
- Difficulty forming or maintaining relationships.
- A deep sense of guilt, shame, or fear.
- Patterns of self-sabotage or low self-worth.
Understanding what intergenerational trauma is can be the first step toward healing.
