Breaking the Cycle: Healing Intergenerational Trauma from Narcissistic Abuse
We must heal our intergenerational wounds, no more pawning it off. Time is up. Parents need to understand that they are wounding their children and, even though they were wounded themselves, they need to own their part in it. Children need to face themselves, go on a healing journey, grow up and stop the cycle of intergenerational abuse going forward.
Have you ever felt like the pain you're carrying didn't start with you? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein sheds light on the heavy burden of intergenerational trauma. Trauma isn't just a one-time event; it's often passed down from parents to children, like an unwanted family heirloom. Yitz dives into how these inherited wounds, emotional scars, and toxic relationship patterns can shape our lives in profound ways.
He emphasizes the importance of understanding where our pain originates and facing our family history without blame or shame. By doing so, we can break the cycle of hurt and start the healing process. Yitz also shares practical steps for self-reflection, empathy, and communication to help mend these deep-rooted issues. Roleplay, he suggests, can be a powerful tool for achieving closure and moving forward.
Professional support is crucial in this journey, and Yitz's insights offer a compassionate guide for those looking to heal from narcissistic abuse. Tune in to discover how you can take the first step towards breaking free from the chains of intergenerational trauma.
