generational trauma

Discovering personal sensitivity as a result of past trauma, the author reflects on their overreactions and challenging sensations, linked to a life of constant pain. They discuss family indoctrination with settler-colonial myths, personal efforts in decolonizing their mind, and the difficulty of healing from multi-generational and cult-induced beliefs. Replacing social gatherings with self-care, they read to understand the body's memory of trauma and look forward to systemic change.
