Interrupting the Generational Transmission of Trauma

For patients with trans-generational trauma histories that include oppression, war, slavery, genocide and immigration to a new culture, it is important to develop EMDR treatment plans to address trans-generational wounding and adaptations.

How does the clinician know when to focus on trans-generational trauma in their treatment plans?  This presentation will help the clinician locate transmissions by: 1) attending to the affective quality and content of the patient’s narrative; (2) understanding symptoms of trans-generational trauma; (3) learning how to do generational genograms and; (4)  investigating the presence and nature of their tribal narratives.
