The idea of intergenerational transmission of trauma is something that psychoanalysts started looking at in the aftermath of the holocaust...our parents actually communicate with us in nonverbal ways and children feel what their parents experience right, feel what their parents.
Imagine carrying the weight of your ancestors' pain without even realizing it. In this episode of 'Eggshell Transformations', psychoanalyst Galit Atlas joins host Imi Lo to discuss the concept of transgenerational trauma. Atlas, known for her expertise in emotional inheritance, unpacks how we can inherit the unresolved pain and trauma of our parents, grandparents, and beyond.
She delves into defense mechanisms like dissociation and splitting off, explaining how these coping strategies protect us but also keep us tethered to past traumas. Drawing from her book 'The Enigma of Desire', Atlas shares compelling examples that illustrate how nonverbal communication and attachment styles play a crucial role in passing down emotional burdens.
The conversation also touches on the impact of Covid-19, revealing how the pandemic has resurfaced old wounds and family secrets, making the need for self-reflection more urgent than ever. This episode is not just an academic discussion; it's an emotional journey that invites listeners to reflect on their own lives and consider how inherited trauma might be influencing them.
Whether you're someone who feels deeply or you're curious about the invisible threads that connect us to our ancestors, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for healing. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is moving.
