ABSTRACT

This exercise is about the intergenerational transmission of misery. When a parent has suffered considerable emotional pain, loss or trauma and doesn’t get help to work through these feelings, their children can be deeply affected. Despite their very best efforts and intentions, the parent can pass on aspects of their own misery to their children. This can happen from generation to generation. It only takes one person to break the cycle, by getting some form of counselling or therapy through which the pain can be addressed and successfully modified.
