I spent 7 years studying trauma, and this is what I know.
Trauma doesn’t end when the event is over. It reshapes the brain, the body, and the way we relate to the world. And when it’s not healed, it gets passed down.
That’s why kids who were beaten sometimes grow up to beat their own kids.
Why cycles of abuse, oppression, and war repeat in the same places.
Why a nation born from genocide can eventually commit one.
Unhealed trauma becomes legacy. What we don’t repair, we repeat.
