Hello fellow warrior’s! I hope you’re all doing well. I want to ask this question for some feedback and opinions.

While I was doing my morning scroll sitting with my coffee and pup, I came across a reel about trauma being inherited. It made me go, hmmm????

Could it be inherited? I know for a fact trauma is passed down. We all know that, but could it be passed down genetically?

Part of me thinks possibly, not due to genetics but subconscious. During pregnancy as your baby is developing, the brain is developing, so if you have a stressful, abusive, unsupportive pregnancy are those emotions transferred through you to your baby? Even though our memories are not there when we enter the world until our toddler years and beyond, but, what about our subconscious? Is it in there somewhere we can’t access but only demonstrate leaving those around us in shock for the behavior and wondering why they acted out this way? 🤔  Is it a gene, like alcoholism, or is it in our subconscious brain in the womb?

I’ve been victim to parents who have unresolved trauma and never seeked therapy. Was my trauma more than what it is because I’ve also inherited both of my parents trauma?

I don’t know the answer to that but I’m interested in what others think about this too.
