RE: The Legacy of Trauma: Does It Have the Potential to Shape Future Generations?
thank you for sharing such a great narrative, I was reminded of a case of Baby Blues Syndrome due to economic pressure and the husband's lack of knowledge of his wife's mental health that happened in my area.
Thank you for your comment!
My point here isn't specifically about the baby blues, though that is indeed a very serious issue related to pregnancy and trauma. My main focus is on the transmission of traumatic markers from one generation to the next, through epigenetics. This topic is still under research, and concrete conclusions have yet to be established, which is why there’s some uncertainty and hence the question mark in the title!
The reason I brought this up today wasn’t to point fingers at anyone specifically. Rather, I spoke from personal experience to highlight that there are numerous factors contributing to trauma, whether subtle or overt. My question is: if someone goes through such experiences, is there a tendency for this trauma to be passed on to the next generation?
