Generational stress
Complete transcript:
The Holistic Psychologist: You didn't just inherit your parent's eye color and hair you also inherited their nervous system. And your brain developed based on the nervous system, you inherited. This is called epigenetics. Epigenetics tells us, that the experiences and the environment of one generation influences the next generation's genetic expression.

Starting in the womb we absorb everything our mother experiences, so if she was anxious in a toxic marriage or if she was shutdown and depressed our nervous system mirrored hers. When our mother was chronically stressed cortisol can cross of the placenta barrier, and impact areas of the brain that are responsible for executive function, like the pre-frontal cortex. This is why so many of us struggle with executive dysfunction, have high anxiety, and can't regulate our emotions.

This is also why so many us don't feel safe in our body, and why our brain is wired for constant worrying and thinking about the next crisis. It might feel like it's coming out of nowhere, but it's actually not. The positive thing about our brain and our nervous system, is that they're flexible. We can widen the window of tolerance of our nervous system and become better at regulating our emotions. We can harness what's called neuroplasticity to build better habits and to improve our executive function. Improved executive function helps us make better decisions, stay focused, and to plan and organize better. So it didn't start with you, but it can end with you.
