Intergenerational Trauma

[Lee-Anne]

Hello!

I've learned to put aside family members who contribute to my suffering intergenerational trauma triggers. It's a hard thing to do, yet necessary for me to live in a more healthy mindset, more peacefully.

The guilt is there for me to break away,  even though I've done a lot of work on myself and with professionals.

Is anyone out there experiencing that same situation with guilt of sorts

Hello Lee-Anne,

I am really sorry to hear how you are feeling. Looks like there is some unhealed and unaddressed traumatic wounds that have been passed on through generations.

It's completely understandable to feel guilty when breaking away from family members especially if they contribute to your triggers. It's good to establish clear boundaries to protect your own mental health although it is not easy.

Sometimes getting away from toxic relationships can be a significant step towards focusing on healing and breaking the cycle of trauma.

Glad to hear you are seeking professional support who can guide you in making informed decisions and provide strategies to cope.

Please be kind to yourself and remember prioritizing your well-being is not selfish, it's necessary for your own mental health.

Here to listen if you feel like chatting more...

Take care
