Breaking the Chain: Generational Trauma, Healing, and Hope
Manage episode 498443011 series 3667487
What if your struggles aren’t entirely your own? In this raw and revelatory episode of Beyond the Window, Clinical Directors Carla Fernandez, LCSW and Jennifer Enriquez, LMFT and Steve Zamarripa, MBA, President and CEO of La Ventana, discuss how to unpack how generational trauma shapes addiction, mental health, and family dynamics. From personal stories of survival to groundbreaking science (like the "cherry blossom mouse study"), they explore:
- How trauma embeds itself in our DNA—and behaviors.
- Why breaking cycles requires more than willpower.
- The cultural stigmas that keep families silent.
- Practical steps to heal and reclaim your narrative.
Whether you’re navigating your own legacy or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers compassion, clarity, and a path forward.
