Yeh Dard Mera Nahi Tha... Fir Bhi Mera Ban Gaya 💔 | Generational Trauma

Generational trauma isn't just a buzzword, it's a well-documented psychological phenomenon studied in fields like epigenetics, attachment theory, and family systems therapy. In this video, we break down the psychology of generational trauma: Epigenetics — how chronic stress and trauma can alter gene expression, potentially affecting how the next generation's stress-response system develops (research on this includes studies on descendants of Holocaust survivors and war veterans) Attachment Theory — how a parent's own unresolved trauma shapes their caregiving style, which in turn shapes the child's attachment patterns and emotional regulation Learned Behavior & Modeling — how children unconsciously absorb coping mechanisms, communication styles, and emotional responses simply by observing caregivers (Bandura's social learning theory in action) Family Systems Theory — how unspoken rules, roles, and unresolved conflict get passed down structurally within a family, not just emotionally #GenerationalTrauma #Epigenetics #AttachmentTheory #Psychology #MentalHealthEducation #FamilySystems #TraumaInformed
