In a world where relationships come in various forms, one thing remains constant: the importance of emotional maturity. When we prioritize emotional growth, we lay the foundation for building strong bonds that thrive on safety and respect. Emotional maturity allows us to navigate conflicts with grace, as we understand the power of empathy and active listening. It enables us to communicate our needs and boundaries effectively, fostering an environment where both parties feel heard, seen and valued. With emotional maturity, we cultivate a deep understanding of ourselves and others, recognizing that each person's emotions and experiences are valid. By embracing emotional maturity, we create a space where trust can flourish, enabling us to build relationships that are not only and respectful but also nurturing and fulfilling. It is through this lens that we unlock the true potential of connection and pave the way for meaningful, lasting bonds.

Intergenerational trauma refers to the transmission of trauma and its effects from one generation to the next. When our parents or caregivers engage in behavior patterns of shaming, it can contribute to intergenerational trauma and have long-term impacts on us even into adulthood. Behavior patterns of shaming include criticism, punishment, and humiliation. These behaviors can lead to feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and anxiety. If parents or caregivers used shaming as a method of discipline, it could have made you feel unworthy and undeserving of love and acceptance. Remember, healing is a process, and it takes time. Be patient with yourself and seek support when needed. Tag or share this with a loved one who needs this 🤍🫶🏽

Intergenerational healing is sacred and deep work. Intergenerational Healing is a process of shedding the narratives that no longer serve you or the adopted truths and burdens that were never yours to begin with. When you commit to healing yourself, you commit to healing your ancestral lineage before you and your lineage after you. Answer that inner call to heal, as your healing has a special anointing specifically for you in this lifetime.

Intergenerational Healing is our birthright. As a therapist who is also in the midst of my own intergenerational healing journey, I have experienced the liberation of processing, moving through and healing some of my own ancestral trauma. I had the honor and opportunity to contribute to one of my favorite mental health platforms @officialwondermind which is co-founded by music artist, mental health advocate and philanthropist @selenagomez In this article, I discussed ways to heal from Intergenerational Trauma and how familial trauma has the ability to significantly impact our inner narratives and perspectives about ourselves and the world around us. The inner work to heal intergenerational trauma can be a journey and will require dedication and unconditional love for yourself regardless of your past during your healing process. If you are the chosen one to recognize family narratives that no longer serve you, or find yourself repeating the same cycles witnessed in your own family and possess the awareness to know you deserve and are worthy of change ; you are being called to begin this sacred work of intergenerational healing. My belief is when we heal ourselves, we also heal those who came before us and those who will come after us. May we be the generation who chooses healing over pain and silence. Thank you @officialwondermind and my editor Shannon for this coverage and awareness.
