  • In this mental health video, clinical psychologist / therapist, Dr. Taslim Alani-Verjee, and MedCircle host, Kyle Kittleson, discuss the popular Disney film, Encanto, and it's portrayal of intergenerational trauma and how it affects internal family systems. Generational trauma is extremely misunderstood. Whether it's a mental health condition that's passed down, or it's the effects of toxic family members, intergenerational trauma can hide in plain sight.
    Topics:
    00:00 What is intergenerational trauma?
    00:36 Encanto intergenerational trauma
    03:20 Generational trauma vs "a collection of experiences"

    This is what Gabor Mate talks about in depth and how this trauma leads to addiction. He talks about studies done on the children who were born to parents around the time of the Holocaust and it reveals that even though a child didnt go through anything directly, the parents passed the trauma on to them.

    Thank you for finally talking about Encanto as it relates to mental health. For anyone that has gone through intergenerational trauma, narcissist abuse, toxic family system, it's very hard to watch.

    As an Asian...that too Indian...I can confirm that everything she is saying, I can relate to it all 100 percent. Most of us in South Asia belong to families who used to be drowning in poverty, which our parents/grandparents have witnessed, and the only way to overcome that was great hard work and education. I hear stories about how my parents' childhood used to be...nd not just in an exaggerated way but completely honest, and they mention how education helped them to overcome those financial miseries that their parents suffered thru their entire lives until them.
    nd I believe that is where the obsession of Indian parents with studying science, scoring good grades, and getting into top uni at any cost comes from. because they have a taste of the trauma, and they want us to follow the same path they did to jump societal classes.

    Yes!!! It’s nice hearing a professionals perspective on this. The entire time I watched encanto, I was in shock how well they were able to portray the toxic pattern through every family member.
    Edit: Latinos are no strangers to such heavy trauma. Especially those of us who have immigrant family members or behold incredibly conservative beliefs such as machismo culture.

    Obsession with service and safety leads to severe lack of self compassion and acceptance, which really sucks, especially in a society that doesn’t validate your feelings about that.

    My paternal grandmother imposed upon me an innate fear of dogs. She was raised in 1900s-1920s London, where rabid stray dogs were a problem. At the time, I was being raised in 1950s NYC, where, while there were occasional off-leash dogs, they were infrequently seen. To this day (I’m 70), that fear of dogs, any dog, which evolved into dislike and avoidance, is still a part of my psyche. I recognize where that came from, so I did not pass it on to my children, but we also never had a pet dog while my kids were growing up, thanks to my aversion, just one cat.

    This is so true, there was trauma in my family of origin but we all sought our truths in counseling, to try and not pass he generational trauma to our own family then the family I married into also had traumatic history and they “do not talk about bad things”, so buried it. I saw how the stress and behaviors of the “unspoken” past was blatantly obvious in how they handled themselves. It was so sad to see, and even though it’s existence/reality was not discussed (hence not processed) affected the reactions to other functions. Saw it clearly. After many years of trying I gave up and had to realize everyone has their way of handling life, nothing I could do would help or encourage anyone to live more self aware, when simple therapy could have profoundly changed behaviors and drivers of their here and now. Counseling stops the generational dysfunction, if you can trust enough to give it a long term try…

    I'm from Colombia.
    I had a narci granmother and narcisistic parents, so I was triggered by Encanto.
    I have contact Zero with My parents.
    My daugther is 12 years and , She was happy about This movie, because It's about mom's culture.
    I supported her.
    I tried to enjoy and give a little insight about my country, but it was painful movie-experience to me !😔

    My mum never knew her father because he left when she was young. She passed so many fears onto me including a fear that my future partners will leave me. I totally want to break this belief before it turns into a cycle! Who knows maybe grandma had that belief too, I've never met her to find out...

    Hi, I was wondering if you could make a video about burnout?
    I myself have been sick for 3 years now with the disorder called burnout and also have anxiety, depression, PTSD and panicattacks.
    Even though all those disorders is hard for alot of people to understand, burnout is still a disorder that is talked about so little that I have had to explain it to everyone I meet and had to do it houndreds of times over and over again to try and make them understand what it is. But unfortunately most people are still sceptical about the idea that it is a real disorder 😞

    Nice 👍,I believe Intergenerational Trauma that keeps passing like "Passing the Parcel📦" 😆. Even I have been experiencing this Genetic Behaviour Patterns and I Experiencing as on Present Date. My Parents and Fraternal Aunts had certain percentage of Traumatic Experiences due to Sudden Death, Financial Crisis during their Childhood. I mean caused due to Poverty 😐. So there have been a Certain Pattern of Behaviour associated with certain Situations. Like my Father & Fraternal Aunts had certain percentage of like Border Line Palilalia, Coprolalia & Tourette Syndrome which poped out whenever there is a Situation which creates Tension among the Relationships.

    What kills me when folks want to talk about this topic is I NEVER, not even now with professionals, hear the slightest bit of empathy or sympathy for the adults who experienced the trauma. Never. Imagine blaming a gun shot victim who took one to the stomach for having digestion issues, they survived, that's why the cook & eat a certain way yet they're faulted for it. Then folks would see how ridiculous the idea of faulting someone for the fact someone else harmed them truly is but you put that same concept towards unresolved trauma & POOF let the victim blaming begin. The more I learned about trauma & it's impacts, the more empathy & sympathy I had for Elders ESP knowing they came from a society where mental health wasn't even truly acknowledged. Not a pass for behavior but understanding it comes from horrific pain & they were victims. Mugs will literally show an abused dog more patience than their own grandmother or father or other relatives. Make it make sense.

      So, I just read a little on this today. Specifically the epigenetic effects of generational trauma.
      So literally, there are changes (beyond normal DNA coding) that can be passed down from grandparents, to parents, to children. And they're working on a set.of medications yo reverse these epigenetic "switches" from "on" (unhealthy) back to "off" (healthy).
      That said, all the trauma work, therapy, and doing your best to manage stress in your life can also sometimes reverse these epigenetic changes.
      So, have patience and empathy for your self and put a lot of work in. It's not ideal, but it's the best we have at the moment.

I share with all the people sharing are a blessing to all. Those in families that are still hard fast in this is a betrayal to the family. We are warriors of a tribe for healthy families.

    • @Co-wx7ij
      @Co-wx7ij Год назад

      I agree. In words and facial expressions, Kyle displayed a very entitled behavior to discredit a topic he thought unnecessary to consider as valid. Historical trauma and Intergenerational is backed by the science of Epigenetics. Considering the systemic trauma generated by colonialism and war upon whole communities, along with the nature of re-enactment common to trauma, it would be wonderful if this channel were a game changer and gave the professionals we dearly need to hear from, the time and respect the subject needs for the collective health of our human family.
