Oddbean new post about login | logout Trauma gets transmitted through the generations like a chain reaction. Some parents add to it and others reduce it. Over the last 100 years or so it's mostly been increasing across the board. It seems our generation is the first one to have the opportunity to reduce the trauma tranmission. Especially if you're opting out of constant theft through currency debasement.
One thing I've been contemplating on recently after starting to read the book called "Orgasmic birth" is how for a few decades prior to mid seventies the birthing practices were incredibly barbaric. Having mostly whole generations incurr massive birth trauma creates scars for life that reflects the foundations upon which we stand and the consequences we are repeating as a result of this as a society.
Awesome. I haven't dove deep into Stanislav Grof but have definitely been wanting to explore holotropic breath work more. Also, I meant to say reaping* not repeating but I guess that also works as there's lots that's being passed down keeping us in repetitive cycles. Thankfully, some of us are pattern breakers.
