While the type of trauma passed down can be the result of domestic abuse, it can also be the result of living through things such as war and other related traumatic events <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capitalchoicecounselling.com\/resources\/articles-research\/generational-trauma-attachment-spiritualreligious-interventions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(1)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some examples of this include a mother who was harshly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/do-i-have-childhood-trauma\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">abused during childhood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a father whose parents were part of the Holocaust.

You need to examine family patterns that can be seen through generations as well as emotional triggers in your family. One of the best ways to uncover generational trauma is to talk to the generations before you and try to learn about their experiences and how those experiences impacted their lives.
