Whether you're home or away, stay connected to your team with t-mobile, the network that covers of people in America. I am hoping that your eyes did not just roll over, but epigenetics has been a buzzword as of late, and it is the study of how your behavior and environment can cause external modifications to your genetics.
What if the pain you're feeling isn't just yours, but a legacy passed down through generations? In this episode of 'Adult Child', Andrea sits down with Naome Bradshaw, a singer and writer who has delved into the depths of her family's 250-year history of trauma. They tackle the complex subject of epigenetics—how our environment and behaviors can influence our DNA and carry the echoes of past traumas.
Naome shares her personal journey through codependency, addiction, and recovery, shedding light on how understanding her family's past helped her heal in the present. She also discusses the emotional toll of having a high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) score and its link to serious health risks. Throughout their conversation, Andrea and Naome explore the importance of continuous therapy and support, including techniques like EMDR therapy, to process deep-seated trauma.
They also touch on how genealogy can be a powerful tool for understanding and breaking free from inherited family dysfunction. Naome's stories of her grandmother's struggles with alcoholism and abandonment provide a poignant backdrop to the broader discussion on toxic shame and complex trauma (CPTSD). This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how we can begin to break the chains of generational trauma, offering hope and practical advice for those on their own healing journeys.
