Breaking Free from Generational Trauma with Mark Wolynn

We have got to calm the brain stress response, whether we've inherited it or the trauma happened to us. Instead, we have this experience of being in our body, calm, being in a state of compassion, mindfulness, gratitude, loving, kindness, generosity, some state that feeds the prefrontal cortex: peace, love, joy, trust.
Imagine if the struggles of your grandparents could shape your life today. In this compelling episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen are joined by Mark Wolynn, author of 'It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle'. Together, they dive into the eye-opening world of generational trauma, exploring how the pain and PTSD of our ancestors can ripple through the generations.
Ever wondered why certain patterns seem to repeat in your family? This episode sheds light on the science behind it, revealing how chemical tags on DNA can turn genes on or off based on past traumas. The discussion doesn’t stop at theory; it extends to practical advice. The trio talks about the role of cortisol, the stress hormone, and its impact on the brain, especially in children. They share actionable steps to break these cycles, emphasizing mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness.
But it's not all about doom and gloom. Positive experiences play a huge role in healing, and the hosts delve into how nurturing these moments can calm the brain's stress response. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to understand and overcome inherited family trauma. Tune in to learn how you can take control of your brain and body, and start a new chapter free from the shadows of the past.
