This part really stood outto me:
> The sciences of psychology and forensic psychiatry recognize the phenomenon of transgenerational trauma transmission: Traumatic experiences can be passed along to the children. From research conducted into other victim groups that suffered a similar fate, we know that the transgenerational transmission of trauma leads to the handing down of specific symptoms and can go hand in hand with significant risks – not just psychological and social, but also genetic.
- JamesBarney 8y agoThe genetic/epigenetic effects of intergenerational trauma are on super shaky ground. The effects they have found are basically if you break an individual through trauma that can cause them to sometimes be a shittier parent. For instance if you have anger issues or alcoholism from ptsd that will definitely hamper ability to raise a child. But there are also a lot of confounds in the literature which probably exaggerate this effect. (basically some of the ability to recover from and avoid trauma is genetic, and therefore passed down)
