EP66: Generational Trauma and Health (Trauma in the Body Part 3)

Generational trauma. What is it? How does it affect health even if you haven't experienced much trauma in your own life? I think it's super important to bring wider awareness to this and because it can and does impact health.
 

What you'll learn about in this episode:
 

• Epigenetics: a powerful tool
 

• The role of environmental toxins
 

• How trauma of past generations is stored in your body
 

• The role of systemic oppression and trauma
 

• The fight, flight or freeze response and health 
 

Here is a link to the book I mentioned, The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.
