Summary

Despite our fierce commitment to individualism, trauma is far more likely to follow the way the mind has actually been made, rather than the way we have for the last several hundred years tried to pretend that it works. We would like to think that the trauma that I experience or perpetrate will only have effects on me or the ones upon whom I inflict it. But that would not be true to the way the brain works. As we will discover, what happens in one generation doesn’t’ necessarily stay in that generation. Rather, it can have the tendency to travel down ancestral lines, leaving others to pay the price for events that occurred long before they were even born. Join Pepper and Curt as we discover the steam that the train of trauma can gather over the course of generations—and what we can begin to do to stop it in its tracks.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Being Known Podcast with my friend Dr. Kurt Thompson.
0:16.2	My friend Pepper Sweeney. We are here to discover and explore what it means to be
0:21.9	truly known. We are here in the fourth season of the

1:01.0	A number of different occasions there's more than one passage to this
1:04.8	account, but I'll just read one of them.
1:07.0	This comes from the book of Numbers, the 14th chapter and the
1:15.0	18th verse, whoever's writing for Moses,
1:17.0	we writes the following.
1:18.8	The Lord is slow to anger, abounding in love, and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished.
1:29.7	He punishes the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.
1:38.0	And today we're here to talk about generational trauma
1:45.0	makes its way down the line
1:50.0	and how trauma makes its way down the line
1:51.0	ancestrally, as it were were from one generation to another and we're going to talk about a number
1:56.6	of different ways in which that happens.
1:59.7	But as we do, I want to invite us to consider that, you know, when we, before, in other seasons, we've talked about the mind.
2:09.7	We've talked about what a mind that is flourishing looks like.
