Have you ever felt as though your family’s past is haunting you?
Being the first-generation in your family to accomplish big milestones can feel liberating. You worked extremely hard to get to where you’re currently at. But if you make one mistake or set a boundary with your parents or other family members, everything goes down the tubes. No matter what you do as a first-generation child, it’s never “good enough”.
It’s tiring.
Ever wonder if it's possible to break free from the patterns and pain passed down through your family tree?
If so, you're not alone. Intergenerational trauma is a profound and often unspoken part of many people's lives, and it can impact mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It can cause family members not to be spoken about (Cue We Don’t Talk About Bruno from Encanto) or taboo topics in your family.
You begin to notice patterns of unhealthy behaviors your family exhibits and how they impact you while you’re focusing on yourself.
Then you realize that you’re doing the same thing as your family.
Can the cycle be broken?
