Family Trauma for Dummies
This may seem like a strange subject for a business networking club. The Business Growth Club is a very free flowing discussion based group and emotional topics like this bring out some fabulous business insights.
Michael Hallett says that generational trauma affects many families, usually without being recognised or treated. You or someone in your family may have noticed recurring destructive patterns over generations but not had the awareness to respond to it.
Michael believes that:
1. Many families carry unidentified traumas from the World Wars, divorces, scandals, and other emotional shocks.
2.Family traumas are experiences of emotional overwhelm that are frozen in time. They can be experienced as shame, sorrow, depression, grief, or ‘stuckness’ – an inability to be fully present to life.
3.Identifying inherited trauma is hard due to the generational gap between who experienced the original trauma and who unconsciously manifests its symptoms.
4.Family trauma may sound vague. It’s actually very process-oriented and can be identified not only through therapy but using business process analysis tools.
