"Pain travels through families until someone is ready to feel it." - Stephi Wagner
In the second part of our discussion about intergenerational trauma, Dyryl, Samantha, and I share some of our thoughts related to Luisa and Bruno, two characters of the movie, Encanto. As we validate the experience of intergenerational trauma (and all emotions that are connected to it), we also present possible factors that can affect the continuity of such experience. The guests discuss how they choose to break intergenerational trauma, and provide a few tips about how to start.
