Intergenerational Trauma

Have you ever realized you did something out of survival mode. When you look at where it came from, you see your mother or grandmother doing it? This is just a surface example of intergenerational trauma. Did you know your mother carried you when she is in her mother's womb? Crazy right, but it allows us to understand better how you can carry a pain you have no idea where it comes from.

There are somethings that are embedded in our DNA. Pain from our ancestors that we never experienced but also pain we heard and seen. We were created and raised in so much pain that we carry it because we never seen how to put it down. You have to decide that you will not allow it to be normal to give it to your children.

Don't you want your children to be able to be who they were created to be in this world without having to heal from how you raised them? I want my kids to be nourished in my womb with healthy foods, love peace, and joy. That when they enter this world, they begin to move into what God created them for. Their minds, hearts, and spirits will be whole and able to hear God. Not weighed under generations of trauma and brokenness that they have to figure out what wholeness even looks like.

It stops with me. I will do everything in my power that I don't let the trauma I was raised in touch the generation that comes from me. We have heard "I did the best I could" long enough. When I reached the best, I could do alone. I reached out for help to do better. Seek and you shall find. It is no longer ok for us to act like we don't see that what we were raised in can be detrimental to our children. We are in the time of knowledge. Whatever way works best for you reading, researching, watching videos, counseling. Just make a decision that I will no longer see trauma as normal.
