Healing Intergenerational Trauma Through the Parent-Child Relationship

Free Online Workshop with Dafna Lender

As clinicians, we see patients who suffer with intergenerational trauma, internalizing their experiences and carrying them into their interactions with their own children. This form of intergenerational trauma perpetuates the original trauma, resulting in a deep sense of self-loathing and damaging the parent-child relationship.

Ending the cycle of trauma is critically important to both the parents and children in these scenarios. How can clinicians help their patients heal the cycle of intergenerational trauma through their relationship with their child?

In this presentation with Dafna Lender, through real treatment cases and clinical vignettes, you will learn about families with intergenerational trauma that were able to stop the cycle of disrupted attachment and how they did it.
