Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we’re exploring a powerful and fascinating question: Can trauma be inherited?This isn’t just a philosophical or therapeutic idea anymore. Over the last 20 years, science — from epigenetics to neuroscience to trauma studies — has begun to uncover mechanisms that show how pain, stress, and even resilience can travel across generations.In Family Constellations, we’ve witnessed this for decades: invisible threads of loyalty that bind us to our parents, grandparents, and beyond. Today, I’ll bring these worlds together: constellation practice and cutting-edge research; we’ll look at what the science says, how it’s applied in other professions, a case study from research and one from a Family Constellation workshop, and finally, a meditation to help you release inherited burdens.We hope you enjoy our podcast and thank you for listening!
