Matthew Green and Lisa Schwarz explore these key aspects of healing generational trauma:
All present-day trauma can be understood as having generational and collective roots, and shows itself in the endless replaying of victim, perpetrator and failed rescuer dynamicsTo provide successful generational healing that sticks, the therapist must help the client interweave the narrative with the emotional and somatic memories The need for the client to be as fully embodied as possible to have more capacity and processing ability for the more multi-dimensional work.Spotting red flags for the need for generational work - including addictions, pervasive victimhood stance, perpetration dynamics, and medical and psychological symptoms that are non-responsive to regular treatmentThe need for the therapist to be aware of how generational trauma creates obstacles and blocks to healing.The requirement for the therapist to do their own work, to perceive clearly what needs attention in their clients' presentations.The therapist's need for energetic protections and use of resources to mitigate against any less-than-beneficial generational material exposure.
