Trauma ultimately has the ability to define our behaviours, actions and sense of self.  Beyond childhood trauma, research is also showing the destructive effects of trauma being passed down from generation to generation in our DNA and cultural nurturing.   This is intergenerational trauma.  Historical trauma is trauma that affects groups of people and generations within those groups.  Both historical and intergenerational trauma are now being validated by research showing that the effects of trauma can be passed to children and grandchildren and increases risks for psychological, behavioural and physical health issues.
