Your ancestors' trauma doesn't have to be yours; how to heal and grow - with Jasmin Joseph

Leading Consciously

Jun 15 2022 • 54 mins

Do you wonder to what extent our parents’ and grandparents’ history affects our mental health? How much of what we treat as mental illness is a result of the trauma they experienced? And whose fault is it? Or maybe it’s no one’s fault.

This time Jean interviews Jasmin Joseph, a writer, researcher, and aspiring producer, on intergenerational trauma and how it impacts mental health. Jasmin has written about generational trauma and her own experiences with it as the child of American Black and Caribbean Black parents.
