The Invisible Inheritance We All Carry

Have you ever felt haunted by something you can't name? A vague anxiety that seems to belong to no specific memory, or a pattern of reaction that feels larger than your own life story? There's a reason for this sensation. We're all walking around with invisible baggage-not just from our own experiences, but from generations before us. The wounds of history live in our bodies, shaping how we see the world, how we connect with others, and even how our cells respond to stress. Trauma isn't just a personal affliction. It's a collective inheritance, passed down through families, communities, and entire cultures. When a society experiences catastrophic violence-slavery, genocide, colonization-the pain doesn't simply vanish when the violence ends. It ripples forward, encoded in our nervous systems, our relationships, our very DNA. This is the revolutionary insight at the heart of understanding collective trauma: we are not separate islands of experience, but interconnected networks where one person's unhealed wound becomes part of the shared field we all inhabit.
