africa, we were surrounded by a wild life. from the moment we entered a coupon. occupied right now able to practice what the now be used. only electric very close here, like coming here sits on within large tears faced with a look in my presence for me now. thanks. royal. i can also offer somebody valley equal, restored to been gone. we all inherit many things from all families, stories chief, byron's handling. there is something else we can inherit to the effects of pain and suffering costs down through the ages, otherwise known as generation or full amount. so what does this mean for those carrying the weight of history in the genes? i'm very impulse. a lot of this is the stream. the if you want social media, you likely come across at least one of these countless videos and skips being made

about generation, which will uh like this one. the or what does the descendants of the victims of the come errors and come bodya, the holocaust, the genocide against the touch sees in rwanda have in common well study so that many will suffer a higher rates of anxiety, depression and p t c. so if trauma is inherited tendency be the ones to

finally break the cycle, hey, it's a help on. so this all serene, thin out a mental health professional who addresses intergenerational and historical trauma with a native communities. joining us from circle pines, minnesota dana, out of 5 palestinian american right to an old. the old you exist too much. joining us from new york and elliot sighing agenda the content right, so it creates a musician also joining us from new york. welcome to you. oh, thank you so much for being with us, sir. and can i start with you? um, we have a lot about generation what former these days, but what does the time see referred to? how common is it? i think it's common, it's common for really everyone throughout all the time. i think now we're just having more of a context for it's and more of a conversation about it because things like the internet and just

a pollution in general allows us to really look at our behavioral patterns. and i really see that when people are starting to communities are starting to move out the survival mode that they're able to actually slow down and process some of the things that are ancestors because of being in survival mod, through genocide and wars and oppression of just really did not have the space to do and so generationally and things can be handed down on through behaviors through and our learning about ever genetics and also um and, and the native way we, we taught, we call it black memories. so things are handed down. resilience as well, not just the difficult things, but i think everybody can talk about how something generationally that happened to them impacts their personal life today as well. i'm saying i want to ask you about intergenerational, which for, but i'm conscious the, as a policy in american, you'll probably also dealing with very current forms of trauma. do you recognize

that in harris and trauma and you are in your life and, and how does it manifest? yes, absolutely. i do. both of my parents grew up under occupation. they both experienced the 1967 bore and a lot of their trauma went on, processed a lot of the fear and the constant uncertainty and living with daily violence, all of that just remain bottled up inside of them and i think trickle down to their children me and my brother when it came time to have children and a lot of that has manifested for me in this constant feeling of ruthlessness and groundlessness. this feeling of um ex, receiving a lot of their anger that is mostly just based in some fear and hyper vigilance that has been instilled within them. and also this constant sense of, i think interior already and internal has been very already that comes with being part of a community that is being erased to being lived out,

being the legitimize, and the humanized. so all of that is, is how this their trauma on process to really trickle down into my own lives. and any, i want to bring you in as all, gen z here, jen z, all particularly aware of generation would. former, it's a big talking point on socials, but it is also one which sometimes gets smokes, doesn't it? if someone's getting monks, the d is being too soft. why do you think that is? well, i think that as zayna was speaking to these processes of undergoing trauma and under standing one self in a world that is consummately traumatizing leads people to inhibiting certain behaviors certain believes about how to be an adults how to be a grown man that are often times toxic, but are also comforting because they re assure you that the way the world is,

is the way it's supposed to be. i think often times when you recognize that so much that has happened to you and that things could be otherwise. it's quite unsettling . and it's often much easier to adapt to when you believe things to be the way that they are naturally or the way that they are justifiably. and so it, it leads to someone's hacking is, i'm from older generations when they see younger generations try to recognize that and make actual changes to that. so $18.00, it also turns out that all bodies can carry troll. ma'am, he is eclipse by produce certain. nadine, you also to tell us more. did you know that you may have experience trauma even before you were born? that's right. the trauma your parents might have experienced in their lives could actually lead biological traces and you from as early on as a feeder. for instance, think of mothers with piteous need from the holocaust or pregnant women who are the world trade center during 911. a study was made on some of their offspring,

which showed that when they were born, they have little cortisone levels and their saliva, cortisone and a hormone that helps the body return to normal after from the site. this is also found. the mother is what suffer childhood trauma might actually be passing down this memory to their unborn baby. they studied the baby brain circuitry just as they were born and found a much stronger connection in the region of the brain central to processing careful emotions with other regions. to put this all into perspective, all the x, the woman carriers in her lifetime are already formed in her ovaries. walsh's and peterson, her mother's womb, which cleans me all spend a little time in our grandmother's room as well. this helps us understand how trauma might actually vibrate through generations and just how much more connected we are to our ancestors and their experiences. and we might think 3. and can i ask you to, can i ask you about the connection between historical trauma and phones of pull health, particularly when it comes to your own community within native communities?

i mean there's layers. when i talk about the effects, the trombone, we have to look at the whole picture. so we start with looking at collective trauma and then we go down to community, family and individual. and what we know about the impacts of historical trauma, which is a mass trauma, a month emanating through generations, often through government policies. and so for our people, we know that for over 500 years colonization has been a process us. if we, if we look at just the basics of, this is the ology of how um, within children alone, when they are taken from their homes in the way that they were through the boarding school era. and unable to speak our language and do all the things that, that happened to our people that the architecture of the brain just inherently changes and, and their ability to form healthy attachments. um headquarters, all levels, all of those things are link. if you look at the adverse childhood experiences

pyramid, you'll look and see how all of the things that we experience mentally and emotionally are directly correlated to our mental health as well. and so we look at how the past impacts the present, but we also look at current oppression and systemic racism and all of those things and how they really do impact access to care and our ability to um, access those, i guess you would say the best providers and things through indian health service, we really have disparities there that need to be addressed in the mental health realm as well. because we know that it directly impacts our physical well being. well, there is a growing awareness among young people of the need to examine certain behaviors within themselves. listen to this guy. intergenerational trauma and brand communities is a real thing because for a long time, i really thought that something was wrong with me. i would often get so angry. i was really impulsive. i was always trying always achieving,

trying to be the best. no, we can change our parents. little we can do is we can focus on our own healing to the make sure that we can break the cycle of generational trauma. so that when we have children, that won't have to grow up the same challenges that we might have gone through. i want to pick up on your reactions about video and i'll ask you a little bit about how you go interested in this idea of generational trauma and whether there was anything that you recognize in your behavior and your friend's behavior that resonates with that. yes, i think understanding my family's behavior, their cultural ideas, things that i really struggled with early on became an ongoing process which i'm still undertaking, of course of trying to understand them not just through having dialogue with trying to listen to them even when it's at times frustrating, right? because they'll say things that sometimes frustrates you with their world views, but also taking time to study their situation,

sprayed. and i think this is something that has also helped me understand the behavior of my friends. in particular, when example is doing side of things, i do something that i recognize my own struggles with more and more as i go on and through treating it both through physically, you know, helping the symptoms of anxiety, but also through working, doing things out in my own brain, i noticed how much anxiety that i was holding in from the way that my parents were treating me, for instance, not just in a negative way, but the anxieties that they had about money about work. and i noticed that a lot of my friends often times children of immigrants as well, like myself, also had significant anxiety issues that were related to work number related also to being insecure about one self and cultural context. and so anxiety is one of the manifestations that i think is the most fascinating and one of the ones that we share often and discuss often. now as part of kenzie me,

i'm saying i want to bring you in and ask you your pairing yourself. is there a sense now maybe there are mistakes of the older generation we're making in parenting, but need to be examined relate. so that trauma that your baby seeking not to repeat . oh yeah, 100 percent. i think that, you know, is so much of my own parents experience and that generations experience has been about minimizing the impact of trauma and sort of down saying it in a sense, you know, l modeling it up and which can be really invalidating both to themselves and to those who are the sort of recipients of you know, the way that that got trauma manifests and that sort of outburst couldn't sue. and so for me i'm, as you mentioned, i'm a mother to young children and i am constantly thinking about how i want to avoid that. how i want to both in still in this idea that their experiences

their, the problem is that they may encounter or, or the difficulty is the challenges are valid and that it is okay to talk about that with, with, with us, with their parents or with a mental health care provider, and that there is nothing to really be ashamed of in the front on that front. and i, you know, uh, someone who has a degree of trauma that's trickle down to me from my parents, have spent a great deal of time trying to process that trauma so that it doesn't trickle down to my own children and really process a lot of the fear that can sometimes manifest in impulsive necessities. elliott's word and also sometimes anxiety and anger. so yeah, it is something i'm very aware of as a mother, especially the mother of 2 young palestinians. well, when we think about trauma, how far back might that former dates? one generation to 3, what happens when that format spends centuries?

i don't think people really understand the ramifications generationally speaking. when you have a people group who are legally not able to share how they fell for centuries at a time. if you have a generation of mothers who are pregnant and while they're pregnant, they have to run for their lives down to see whipping staff to see emasculation in in the woman's body is tense and then that child gets born and then it's again then that child gets born in business again and then that's how it gets boring. doing this again, fast forward to the lynch things in the bomb is you can't even go to church again, women still pregnant. and then you telling the 1st generation to get over and i go, this is emotional cellular anxiety parents down at the, in, in, in now studies are saying we missed that and caring for the woman and child. we focus on nutrients only or serene. we've had that parents on social media talk about the fact that they teach their kids not to, for example, ever lose

a receipt or to keep the hands in that pocket so that they are, you know, visible to those around them. these are just some of the lessons i've got. parents have to teach the children to try and keep them safe. but how do you support your children without reinforcing trauma? i think that when we are so, even if people in the systems of power do not see, see the things that we see, we have to empower ourselves to be able to become aware and then understand what do we do? how do we activate that awareness into something externally? and me, being a parent, i think there's a lot of things that even i'll just give really small examples of micro aggressions . that sometimes my children and i experienced around thanksgiving and um, you know, mascots and all these things really perpetuate a lot of stereotypes. and so if we're talking about just psychological well being and the impacts that make regressions can have on children and families. and it can

really impact identity, race, racial trauma, trauma, all of those things. and so one way that i think parents can really talk about it is in a very factual way, like having the information because a lot of children are in that stage of brain development. where they're very concrete thinkers and so if you get too far out there and trying to describe social dynamics that can be a little overwhelming, you can do that. but i think if you talk about it in terms where you can say, here's the history. and here's a little bit how it has impacted even our family. and that's what i do with my children a lot. just last night. my daughter was talking a lot about a lot of anxiety and, and things that she's going through and, and i listened. and i think that's the biggest thing you can do is just listen with your whole heart and be present. and i think in fact there's one part of breaking a pattern is that you are not telling them to be quiet. you're not telling them

they're going to be ok. um or just move forward. you're actually giving space and time for that healing to happen just by not your child not feeling silence. and so i think awareness providing information and then almost coming up with a, a way to address those situations when they come up. because the realities are, we do have to keep our children's faith. and at the same time, we have to let them know that even with this reality we do not want to internalize that our oppression and internalize those negative stereotypes. we're doing it from a more informed place then. then before, to thanks so much dana. um, can i bring you and i wanna ask you about whether we wanna see structural changes to the ways in which society deals with generational trauma. we know that it's linked to things like poverty, compromise, parenting, chronic stress and unstable moving environments. you know, do we want to see governments taking action when it comes to generational trauma? mean absolutely. of course, you know, especially when, you know,

a lot of the government like when i was just, you know, thinking about the fact of palestinian young palestinians right now. seeing how palestinian lions are essentially beam to be less valuable than the lives of others in the way that the media has covered the genocide and cause of this constant dehumanization. and i think that given, you know, these reality is the way that these identities and these communities are represented. and, and also the fact that many governments, including, you know, the us government has a role in a lot of this. and this violence you know, these representations, i do feel that they have a responsibility to also process or how to handle some of the aftermath of that some of the trauma, the mental health issues that arise as a result of these action and these characterizations. and these policies,

and so certainly, you know, in an ideal world, yet the government does have a responsibility to think not only about the world to think about the mental health and wellbeing of its citizens as well as, and those who are experiencing intergenerational trauma. and let's hand the down trauma and you know, the trauma that is a result of, you know, current situations as well. yeah. well heating trauma, of course, can take many forms. let's have a look at this video by in a cigna. she not nova, you know, the i'm any, i want to ask you about the new ways which n z i was thinking about healing trauma and the role of community within that healing. yeah,

this is an important part. the fascinating part that i think we kind of missed on when mental health discussions became more and more prevalent in popular culture in the past decade or so is there was an emphasis on get yourself treated, go to therapy, take care of your issues. which of course, is at the essence of a lot of this discussion of healing. one, self healing one's own mental health, but often misses the point that there's so little that ultimately falls into our hands as individuals. i think individualize the mental health is a huge mistake that comes from of understanding mental health as being something that exists in a bubble. our brains are reacting to things that are happening around us. and as a result, it is the community around us. it is the politics that govern that community is a historical context behind that community. it is the cultural forms, the media, the heart. and it is also the ways in which we socialize the time that we spend in

the presence of others that is actually loving and actually has connection to the times that people are actually listening to us and hearing us without judgement. all these things are having an important effect on our brains. and especially when we over individualize mental health is something that can simply be cared by going to enough therapy sessions and exercising enough and taking enough supplements. we start to lose more and more of the most important parts of our human existence, which is our connection with others. and instead, to make it into this issue of a type of progress, almost as if group machine that simply needs to be tuned and fixed and pump doubts to be more effective, which is not going to help us heal ultimately. um, well sorry, i wanna ask you about your what keeping communities um using indigenous phones of all. can you tell us a little bit about your practices, the practices that might be of use to others. also, when we experience trauma in our individual experience,

but also are very aware of the trauma that's happened in generations before, is thomas very isolating. you often feel alone in the moment. and so sometimes it's less about the next is definitely about the experience and remembering that but the after effects and the ripple effects are it is you carry shame, you carry what's wrong with me, you don't understand what's happening and it becomes very isolating. and so especially for children who are pre verbal, when they experience trauma, the ability to access strength based things through community and arts is what i've seen is the most one of the most effective ways to create healing. and, and so yes, finding that connection with one another and revitalize and cultural practices, right, where it gets solved, put of everything and how much of our programming when it comes to addressing into an intergenerational historical trauma is based upon culture,

which inherently is about expression. it's about community, it's about food, it's about laughter. and so really for, for me, i think in our community healing models, especially in indigenous perspective, is that we have to create the spaces within our organizations, within our community that are states. and from there it really is like it's on the organism i kind of take takes on the life of its own. and our way of the circle is, is very sacred. and so we remember that each of us has a place in that circle. and so we, they were singing, revitalizing our songs, learning how to make ribbons skirts, which for a lot of our women is a form of empowerment when we were so just empowered as mothers when the boarding school era was present. and our children are being taken from us through the government it's, it's a way for us to really reconnect to ourselves and one another at the same time, which is, is profoundly healey, to thank you so much. oh, it was that, you know,

i went to a and the program by asking you about the ways in which your novel, which taught talks about into duration or trauma, may have been part of a healing process for you may be completely, i mean, writing a novel was the ultimate healing when it came to processing my own intergenerational trauma because the novel does deal with the sign amec between the mother character and the daughter and they are both palestinian. the mother is of the immigrant generation and the daughter is 1st generation and just thinking through, you know, on the one hand trying to understand the motivations and the experiences behind the outward behaviors of the mother. and to go from a place of the narrative. feeling pain and hurt to feeling compassion and understanding and empathy. you know, that was definitely something that i took with me and terry threw into my own

experience on my own life and realizing you know how wide and deep these traumas go and how they really affect behavior in your interpersonal relationships in your professional relationships, in your parent child relationships, so absolutely, yes, it was a healing experience. well, i've got to say thank you to one of our guests now serene zayna and elliot's, and of course, thank you all for watching the do enjoy the show we want to hear from you. is that something you think we should be covering? this is also your show. so let us know using the hash tag or the handle a stream and we'll look into it. take care and we'll see you soon. i the same as a full front, a progressive change, the locks in america. this time the slides remain high as the violence against gender and sexual minority. i come to one to 2 young women who have taken different
