Women: What We Pass Down

<p>Historical and generational trauma are relatively new concepts. Newly named at least. The trauma has a long history. Historical and generational trauma are two distinct psychological ideas but with a similar source and consequences. Historical trauma is when a traumatic event or set of events happens to a group of people and results in widespread symptoms across that community. A commonly considered example is the trauma within the Jewish community as a result of the Holocaust. Generational trauma occurs within a family and the results can be seen in subsequent generations such as when there is domestic violence in one generation and the effects are felt by the following generations.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/verve-up/women-what-we-pass-down-28e25aaae0b6"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
