What Is Intergenerational Trauma?
An intergenerational trauma definition describes the ways trauma and its effects can be passed from one generation to the next. This may include patterns of anxiety, depression, emotional disconnection, relationship difficulties, or survival strategies that once served an important purpose.
Understanding the intergenerational trauma definition can help you recognize that many struggles are not personal failures; they are inherited responses shaped by family history, systemic oppression, and lived experiences.
Through inter-generational trauma counselling, you can begin healing from these patterns with greater awareness and compassion.
Intergenerational Healing and Breaking Cycles
Intergenerational healing involves exploring both the burdens and strengths carried through your lineage.
Together, we can:
Identify inherited patterns and coping strategies
Understand how trauma affects relationships and parenting
Reclaim resilience, traditions, and supportive practices
Create healthier ways of relating to yourself and others
This process supports healing from intergenerational trauma while also strengthening the gifts and wisdom that have been passed down.

This specialized trauma counselling Vancouver clients receive is grounded in a trauma-informed, client-centred approach.
