This can then develop into intergenerational trauma, which can influence how the child behaves in a relationship in the future, and how they parent their own children. This is thought to be a result of learnt behaviour and alternations to internal workings with biological changes in the body due to stress (see Trauma Poster on Epigenetics).įor example, a child who witnesses the physical abuse of their mother once or many times, has experienced trauma. Intergenerational trauma is when the original traumatic experience is transferred from parents to children, and then grandchildren and so on. Traumatic experiences activate stress responses that can alter the way a person behaves and feels. Events such as a war, natural disasters, terrorism, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, and child maltreatment and neglect can all result in trauma. The exposure can be a one-off incident or ongoing. Indirectly experienced trauma is often referred to as ‘vicarious’ trauma. Trauma can be directly experienced or witnessed (seeing or hearing violent acts against yourself or someone else) or indirectly experienced (such as from a family member, friend or e-quaintance). Trauma is exposure to actual or threatened death, injury, neglect, and abuse or violence. The effects of trauma can be passed down too.
