Trauma begins in the DNA

Explore the profound ways trauma is inherited through both genetic coding and environmental influences. This session examines how historical and cultural traumas have shaped entire populations, with their effects rippling through generations. Participants will gain insights into how societal biases, media narratives, and collective histories perpetuate cycles of trauma within and between communities, often fueling misunderstanding and division.

Through engaging discussions and real-world vignettes, the class will uncover the mechanisms of inherited trauma, the interplay between individual and collective experiences, and the role of belief systems in shaping identity and self-esteem. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how implicit bias impacts healing and will be equipped to foster acceptance and empathy in addressing generational and population level traumas.
