What Is Therapy for Family Patterns and Intergenerational Trauma—and Why It Matters
Therapy for family patterns and intergenerational trauma explores how unresolved emotional pain, coping mechanisms, and belief systems are passed from one generation to the next—often without awareness. These inherited patterns can show up as relationship difficulties, chronic stress, depression, or feeling disconnected from yourself or your culture.
At You Matter Counselling, we create a supportive, judgment-free space to gently examine these generational wounds. This therapy is especially meaningful for those impacted by intergenerational trauma in Indigenous communities, including the long-standing effects of residential schools.
By uncovering these patterns, therapy can help break harmful cycles, restore self-worth, and foster a renewed sense of belonging—for you and for the generations that follow.
