Experiences shape you, even ones that aren’t your own: they can also be inherited from your family. It is possible that your experiences of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other psychological conditions can be traced back to traumas embedded in your family tree. Join us in uncovering how a distant familial trauma can imprint on you today in this enlightening talk with Dr Jane Mulcahy. Explore the transmission of trauma through generations, from brain development to attachment formation during childhood. We will also consider how these mechanisms intersect with adverse childhood and community experiences, alongside the impact of large-scale historical, racial and cultural traumas.

Obtain valuable insights into your family history, and begin to understand the profound ways that your family’s past is moulding your current psychological landscape. Take the first steps in healing intergenerational trauma through compassionate self-understanding, and gain practical tips in navigating the complexities of your past.

Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
