Abstract

The impact of transgenerational trauma on the present emphasizes how traumatic experiences lived by predecessors can leave an indelible imprint in the lives of offspring. This can manifest through the transmission of dysfunctional behavioral patterns and emotional responses that can undermine an individual's well-being. Individuals who undergo such experiences may exhibit self-destructive behaviors and feelings of disconnection, leading to psychological distress and strained family relationships. In particular, the echoes of the past continue to resonate in the present and influence both the individual and the collective consciousness of the family of belonging. In this context, delving into the roots of grief can help to unravel these influences, where a process of healing from the ghosts of the past can begin. Symptomatic manifestations present, may include: self-harming behavior and anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, depression and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. Hypersensitivity to abandonment, inability to cope with stress or to experience joy and pleasure may also be observed. In this sense, it is important to understand how these traces of trauma manifest in interpersonal relationships, in the guise of disturbed mood and family dynamics, in order to provide therapeutic interventions aimed at breaking the cycle of trauma and facilitating psychological recovery, because the wounds of past pain and trauma may remain, but the goal is to address and transform them so that we can pass on a legacy of healing and resilience to future generations.
