Description
Transforming Intergenerational, Trauma into Healing
What is trauma? Is it environmental? Is it genetic? Or is it both? In recent decades, research has demonstrated that traumas and other dispositions can actually be transmitted from generation to generation and is studied in a field known as epigenetics. Historic traumas lying dormant can be "triggered.” How can we, as family caregivers, therapists, rabbis, nurses and doctors, help seniors struggling with daily trauma and turn negatives into positives? What are some tools and resources we can share with older adults to help them navigate their everyday lives?
Keynote Speaker
