When we were kids, our parents were our heroes - they seemed to do no wrong and taught us everything that we needed to know. As we got older and experienced life outside of our family dynamic, things started to change - we started to question those differences. Our instinct became to fight back, either with our parents or within ourselves. This week, we share the family trauma we’ve experienced and how that has shaped us throughout our lives, especially now as adults. From mental to physical abuse, we talk about how intergenerational trauma has cycled into our lives, how we’re learning to recognize it, and how we’re breaking those toxic patterns.
