Intergenerational Trauma and Somatics
Gabriel Posner 4-24-2021
While we know that Hanna Somatics can be great for helping people fully resolve injuries they’ve suffered over the course of their life, how effective is it for injuries suffered by their parents and even grandparents? Evidence is piling up that the effects of stress and trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. The effects can be seen in changes to parenting style and behavior that is modeled by subsequent generations. The effects also are seen in changes to epigenetic. In this workshop, I will present the current state of research and knowledge into inter-generational trauma as well as ways that other somatic practices are helping people to resolve these issues. While this is not something that we learned in training, I will also discuss how intergenerational trauma might show up in session and HSE and pandiculation can be applied to resolving it and stopping the transmission to the next generation.
