This material explores the concept of transgenerational trauma, explaining how family secrets and emotionally unresolved events are passed down to descendants through psychological and biological mechanisms. Psychotherapist Cristina Schmidt emphasizes that we often express the suffering of our ancestors through inexplicable symptoms, fears, or blocks in personal development, even when we don’t know the concrete historical facts. Psychogenealogy emerges as a solution for identifying these inherited “missions,” offering the tools needed to transform the burden of the past into resources for growth. The healing process involves accepting the family history as it was, allowing the individual to reconnect with their own roots without carrying the guilt or shame of previous generations. By exploring the family tree, we can break cycles of suffering and convert traumatic energy into a vital force for a healthier future.
