@dr.kirsten.krawczyk: Trauma can echo across generations. Research on mice shows that trauma responses can be biologically inherited-through epigenetics. Descendants showed stronger fear responses to smells their parents had been conditioned to fear. In humans, we see stress reactivity patterns in descendants of war, famine, and oppression survivors. 🧠 It’s not your fault- it’s biology. But healing can also be passed on.
