Generational trauma isn’t always obvious until we’re deep into our own parenting journey. Maybe it’s the way you flinch when your child cries because you were never comforted, or the guilt that creeps in when you take a break because rest was never modeled for you.
If you’ve ever wondered why breaking cycles feels harder as a neurodivergent mom, you’re not imagining it. Neurodivergence adds layers of complexity—executive dysfunction, sensory overwhelm, and rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD) all make healing both necessary and exhausting.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
✅ What generational trauma actually is (hint: it’s not just bad parenting)
✅ Why it’s harder to break cycles as a neurodivergent mom
✅ Mindset shifts that help rewire old patterns
✅ Practical strategies to start healing generational trauma—without burnout

🚀 Action Steps:
👉 Identify your biggest parenting triggers. That’s usually where your generational trauma shows up.
👉 Regulate before reacting. Use grounding techniques before responding to high-emotion situations.
👉 Narrate your healing out loud. Tell your child: “I didn’t handle that the way I wanted to. I’m working on doing it differently.” This models repair and self-awareness.
👉 Rewrite your inner narrative. Journaling, therapy, and inner child work can help you reframe your past instead of repeating it.
