The Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing presents:
Trauma Education Night on THURSDAY 3/21!!
Dinner at 6 pm; Program at 7 pm
TOPIC: Healers of the Line: Recognizing & Healing Inherited Trauma
We now know that profound suffering can cause changes to our DNA/genes, potentially leading to someone in a future generation experiencing the symptoms of a trauma (wound) they didn’t actually experience. Effectively, we are connected across generations through our wounds. Moreover, the consequences of the suffering we experience can cause ripple effects to those we live with and around, including our communities. There is much to learn and understand about these inherited traumas (wounds), including how we can address them now and become ‘Healers of the Line’ so that they don’t continue forward into future generations. Presented by Colleen Sharka, LMHC, Director, Cory Johnson Program for Post-Traumatic Healing. Pass this information along!
