Navigating Relationships and Boundaries

Today your hosts psychotherapists Christina Crowe and Katie Richardson, love making invisible things visible. Today we are talking about intergenerational trauma and ADHD. We talk through various things related to intergenerational trauma, emotional disconnect, and intergenerational relationships. We explore the definition and impact of intergenerational trauma, highlighting difficulties faced by older generations in acknowledging and addressing mental health. We explore the benefit of empathy, patience, and the ongoing efforts it might take to bridge the communication gap in these relationships.

Katie and I talk about:

1. How does intergenerational trauma impact subsequent generations?

2. What is the correlation between trauma and ADHD?

3. How can we bridge the communication gap between different generations?

4. What are effective strategies for setting boundaries and managing expectations in generational relationships?
