How To Identify Generational Trauma In Your Motherline

Have you ever noticed a similar pattern that occurs within the women in your family?

Are you living the same experiences, you know your mother felt trapped in?

Do you watch your daughter and have a sense of Déjà Vu?

If you can identify any of these in you and your family, it’s extremely likely a trauma has been carried down through your lineage, and passed on through your cells from an experience that’s never been fully healed or even realised from generation to generation.

We all have history and experiences in our lives that don’t fully heal and can sometimes get trapped in your cells, tissues, and DNA. Even this can be a new realisation for many of us.

But what we may not fully realise is that, as trauma goes unrealised in our lifetime, it can be passed onto our children, and we may have inherited some of it from our own ancestors.

This is something that is more common than you realise and something I have been unravelling within my very own family. It’s what we call generational trauma.

Are You Experiencing Trapped Trauma?

Here’s a simple example to identify trapped trauma on a cellular level in your own body:

Think back to when you were a child.

Think of something you experienced that seemed so traumatic, it felt like it was the end of the world.

The emotions and feelings that you felt then can feel just as strong today as they were back then.

When you think back, there’s a good chance that you don’t even remember the entire situation, just the way it made you feel.

It might not seem like such a big deal, but can you think of a time, as an adult now where you have experienced something relatively small yet you reacted in a big way?

This is an example of TRAPPED TRAUMA.

Your body is responding to the cellular memory from years ago that was left unresolved.

What’s Different About Generational Trauma?

It’s the same when it comes to generational trauma, except it can be even more difficult to understand because we have no reference point for why we are affected or what it relates to.

You see, a woman is born with all the eggs she will ever produce, therefore, any trauma your mother has experienced, if left unresolved, was carried in her cells and has the potential to exist inside of you.

Upon your birth, your mother’s trapped trauma may have passed on to you and, if you’re a female,  you were born with all your eggs, your unborn children, may actually inherit the same unresolved trauma that their grandmother was holding onto when you were born.

Looking at it this way, makes it much easier to understand how generational trauma through our motherline exists.

Generational trauma can also come from our father line, through our shared cells and DNA when the egg is fertilised. 

You see, we carry this in our cells from before we were born and when a similar trauma is sparked within a current situation, the energy of that trauma is triggered and brought forward into your generation.

Generational Trauma can actually exist up to seven generations from both your mother and father lines.

Why It’s Important To Heal Our Generational Trauma

Just imagine the deep psychological trauma your ancestors may have faced throughout their lifetimes. Trauma that hasn’t been addressed and has compounded through each generation.

It’s easy to see why strong beliefs can be passed on, without even saying a word.

This is where we come in.

Something you’re experiencing right now, could very well have been residual energy trapped in your cells from hundreds of years ago and triggered by a current event.

We have the opportunity here, not just to ease our own pain and trauma, but to simultaneously prevent our children and future generations from inheriting this energy, and heal through our entire line. 

It’s much easier to address a trauma that you yourself have faced. So please know that no matter how hard it may be to unpack this wound, your children and the generations to follow will be so grateful that you did.

You Can Be The One To Heal The Trauma Carried Through Your Lineage

We can’t help or explain what we have inherited, or even what we have experienced ourselves. What we can do is take responsibility to end the trauma and the suffering with us.

While I’ve been healing and exploring this within myself and my family line, it’s become so clear to me how vital this healing is, and how much old trapped trauma has impacted us collectively. 

I’m looking forward to sharing more resources and information with you.
