How Generation Trauma Impacts You

Generational trauma is created through the energetic transmission of unresolved trauma passed down through family lineages. The purpose of this inherited trauma is not to burden us but to create opportunities for healing within the lineage. It presents itself so that we can break free from cycles of pain and suffering that have persisted through generations.


To understand the energetics of generational trauma, we must first explore the energy of trauma itself. Trauma is a widely recognised term within the healing industry. It refers to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that impacts an individual mentally, physically, or emotionally. Trauma can stem from something seemingly minor or from a significant event because its effects are deeply personal, shaped by an individual's unique perspective on life. When trauma is experienced and suppressed, the body has no choice but to store the unprocessed energy within. Over time, this stored energy can manifest as physical illness, pain, or emotional suffering. Trauma can also shape a person's perspective, thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Often, these effects lie deep within the psyche, hidden within the ego, leaving the individual unaware of how their suffering has influenced them. It is sometimes not until a spiritual awakening that one becomes conscious of the ways trauma has affected them.


Generational trauma is trauma that has been continually suppressed and carried forward through each generation. Though the way the trauma manifests may differ from one generation to the next, the core belief or wound remains connected.


Generational trauma is a fascinating energetic phenomenon—one I have personally encountered. My mother and I have worked closely together to shift and heal the trauma within our lineage. The energy that is passed down is not truly ours, yet it becomes imprinted on our psyche. How can an energy that does not belong to us become embedded in our being? Intuitively, I feel that we carry this energy as part of our soul’s purpose and contract in this lifetime. Before we come to Earth, we can see the patterns and energies within our lineage that require healing. We volunteer to be the ones to break these cycles. However, there is one major challenge—we forget everything upon arriving here. We embark on our life’s journey blindfolded to the hidden aspects of our psyche and subconscious. It is not until we recognise recurring patterns within our family that we awaken to our role in clearing the trauma that has held our lineage hostage for generations.


I feel deeply called to share my personal experiences with healing generational trauma. By sharing both the subtle and profound signs of trauma within my own family lineage, I hope to bring clarity and insight into your own healing journey.



My Journey with Healing Generation Trauma


I have two experiences I wish to share—one that affected me physically and emotionally, and another that impacted me mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.


My first encounter with generational trauma marked the beginning of my spiritual awakening in my early twenties. At the time, I had been experiencing severe period pain for most of my life and had recently been diagnosed with endometriosis and cervical dysplasia. Determined to find relief, I dedicated myself on a journey of medical treatments, dietary changes, and surgery, even trying medically induced menopause to alleviate my symptoms. While these interventions provided temporary relief, they did not address the root cause of my pain.


I cannot quite explain how everything unfolded, but what happened next changed my life. I became deeply curious about the divine, angels, energy, and the ways our emotions and subconscious affect the body. This exploration led me to a powerful realisation: my physical pain was tied to suppressed emotions and energy. With the guidance of my first psychic and coach, I uncovered deep-rooted patterns within my lineage—patterns of distrust in divine wisdom, disconnection from feminine energy, and suppression of emotions. All of these patterns that were brought up were ones that my mum, grandma and so forth had experienced as well. While my mum only experienced mild physical womb issues, my grandmother had experienced many issues - resulting in a hysterectomy. I believe that I was given these experiences so assist in clearing the lineage from all pain and suffering delt with expressing the divine feminine. Through extensive emotional and energetic healing, I was finally able to heal my womb space, and all my physical symptoms disappeared. This experience was my first testament to the incredible healing power of our bodies when given the right tools.


The second journey I feel called to share happened recently and was the inspiration behind writing this piece on generational trauma. For much of my life, I struggled with feelings of "not being good enough," a fear of failure, and a deep-seated belief that "my needs don’t matter." These energies shaped my behaviors and perceptions, reinforcing an internal narrative of conditional self-love.


These beliefs felt so natural to me that I had never questioned them—I simply accepted them as truth. However, one afternoon, I had enough. I was determined to cultivate unconditional love within myself. Holding this intention, I was guided to pull some oracle cards. The messages I received suggested that these energies were tied to ancestral blocks within my lineage.


I meditated on the cards and asked my spirit team for clarity. They guided me to call my mother. To my surprise, when calling my mum, she had been experiencing a low day and feeling all of those beliefs and energies that I mentioned above. We both felt in that moment what a relief it was that we connected together, we had connected at the exact time we both needed each other. During our conversation together, she revealed that these beliefs had been ongoing for many generations. Intuitively I knew we were being divinely led and guided to release these energies for good.


After my conversation with my mum, my spirit guides called me into a meditative state to dive deeper into the energetics of this trauma. What I saw astounded me. Through this generational healing journey, I was shown that the root of this energy originated with my great-grandmother. When she was young, her father stripped her of her inner power in some way. As a result, she spent her life seeking approval from him, but he never gave her the validation she craved. This created a belief system within her that she was not good enough, that she was destined to fail no matter how hard she tried, and that love was conditional. These beliefs became embedded in her psyche and, over time, were passed down to her children, then to my mother, and finally to me.


With this newfound awareness, I asked my guides how I could truly heal this pattern. I was guided to energetically heal my great-grandmother’s inner child—freeing her from the false perceptions she carried, tapping into the energy of forgiveness, and bringing this healing down the family line. This was an incredibly powerful and transformative experience.


Since clearing this energy, I have experienced greater mental clarity. I hadn’t realised just how much this trauma had affected my thoughts, emotions, and connection to the divine.


Breaking the cycle of generational trauma


The most beautiful aspect of healing trauma within your lineage is that it prevents the cycle from continuing. If you already have children, your healing still positively impacts them, clearing the energy within your lineage and shifting the patterns that might have been passed down.


By becoming aware of the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical patterns within your family, you gain the power to create change. You step into the energy of freedom—releasing yourself from patterns that are not truly yours.


How I can assist you in breaking the cycle


Breaking the cycle requires two key components: first, empowering yourself to shift your behaviors and perceptions; and second, clearing the energetic and emotional suppression stored within your body and lineage.

Through my work, I collaborate closely with my guides and yours to uncover the root source of generational trauma. Using a combination of psychic healing and emotional embodiment, I will guide you through releasing and healing past wounds, breaking the cycle at its core. You will also receive support in maintaining your newfound empowerment, ensuring you remain free of energetic ties.


This work is deep, profound, and life-changing—it has transformed my own life in ways I never imagined. Healing generational trauma is not just about breaking old cycles; it is about reclaiming your power, freeing your lineage from suffering, and stepping into a future of love, clarity, and alignment. Every step you take towards healing creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond you.


Not only does healing this free you on a personal level, but it also creates a ripple effect within the collective. As one heals, we all heal.


If you feel inspired or called to deep dive into healing any generational trauma, I am deeply honoured to be a part of your journey.
