Generational trauma is the trauma that extends from one generation to the next. It occurs when a group (race, family, nation, etc.) experience traumatic events that cause economic, cultural, and familial distress. Physical and psychological symptoms develop over a period of time.

Today's episode delves into the intersectionality of generational trauma and domestic violence. DV is a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over another intimate partner.

As a domestic violence survivor, this is a brief glimpse into the world I lived for almost 18 years. I have no problem with being completely transparent with my story. My hope is that my willingness to be transparent can be transformative for someone still living this nightmare.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE AND DON'T HAVE TO FACE THIS ALONE.
