July News: Feeling our parent’s pain

Happy July!  How are you doing?  How was June for you? what does intergenerational trauma feel like, how to heal intergenerational trauma
Last month, I wrote about the wounds of our ancestors.  These particular wounds can go back thousands of years.  Indeed, I’ve worked with clients who were carrying suffering from ancient times.

This month, I’d like to stay a little closer to home and talk about our parents.  Whether we have a relationship with our parents, or whether our parents are still alive, isn’t a consideration.  The consideration is the reality of intergenerational trauma: defined by the American Psychological Association as “the transmission of trauma or its legacy, in the form of a psychological consequence of an injury or attack, poverty, and so forth, from the generation experiencing the trauma to subsequent generations.”

The APA and others are looking at this topic from the perspective of physical science—tangible factors.  Their concern is covered in the study of Epigenetics: “the study of how our environment influences our genes by changing the chemicals attached to them” (per the Cleveland Clinic).

But a most impactful part of intergenerational trauma is vibrational; it’s energetic.  And the reality is that the energy of the wound gets passed down from one person to their child.

So that’s what we need to clear: the energy.

I recently had the task of clearing the energy of one of my parent’s wounds.  It was my birthday, and all day I was consumed by an immense darkness and grief in my heart.  I couldn’t get away from it.  It literally characterized my whole day.

Finally, when I tuned into the pain, I discovered that it wasn’t mine; it was my father’s.

My father grew up with this wound, and in his adult life he did not address it.  Thus, it was passed down to his child (me), who was tasked with carrying it.  If I myself didn’t heal it, then it would continue on—in my own child if ever I were to have one, or, if not, then in a future lifetime.

And so our pain gets passed on.  Anything that you have right now might be living inside of your own child/children, if you’re a parent.  Even if you’re not, you almost certainly carry your own parents’ pains.  It can be a heavy burden.

And yes, there can be resentment here: “If only you’d taken responsibility for your wounds, then I wouldn’t have to deal with them myself.”

When that resentment creeps up, it’s helpful to understand that, back then when our parents were growing up, subjects such as mental health, therapy, and healing were not readily discussed.  Back then, the Patriarchy truly was dominant.  We hadn’t labelled PTSD yet; we didn’t really talk about trauma; and psychiatry literature suggested that young girls actually benefit from being molested by their fathers (Comprehensive Textbook of Psychiatry, 1974).  So our parents—and even our younger selves—didn’t have the ability to recognize and heal wounds; certainly not in the way that we do now.

Thus, it does fall to us.

But I have good news, excellent news: The healing can be quick and easy.  In my work, I can bring a line of intergenerational trauma to rest in just one session.  When I healed my own father’s pain, the work took less than 20 minutes.  Hard training made for easy combat.  So we can do this.  And then we can move on with our lives, so much freer than ever before.

I invite you to read “Healing the Wounds of My Father: The reality of intergenerational trauma.”

And if you’d like some help, you know I’ve got you.  Session options are here.
