@thetraumawithin: marks on your DNA—and it can be passed down to generations who never experienced the original event. 🧬 In 2013, researchers conditioned mice to fear cherry blossoms. The wild part? Their pups and grand-pups inherited that exact panic response without ever smelling cherry blossoms before. If biology proves fear can cross generations, that irrational anxiety or chronic hyper-vigilance you feel might be an ancestral survival mechanism—not a personal flaw. You didn’t start the pattern, but you have the power to close it.
