What We Know About The Transmission of Intergenerational Trauma - Dr. Rachel Yehuda - HPP 59
Speakers: Dr. Will Van Derveer, Keith Kurlander, Dr. Rachel Yehuda For several decades, scientists and researchers have been studying the root causes of trauma and PTSD in many people in several cultures. There have been interesting breakthroughs in this frontier that have revolutionized the way providers worked around treating these illnesses but there really is still so much going on in the mind that we have little understanding of. A few years ago, a fascinating discovery surfaced about trauma’s intergenerational capability among children of Holocaust survivors and how these people have suffered in their day to day lives. It truly is astounding that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation. But entertaining this concept has certainly brought a number of questions that need to be answered. For instance, was trauma caused by the upbringing from parents as the first generation Holocaust survivors? Are there some aspects of the biology of the cell that can change or mutate due to the effects of trauma? In today’s episode, we are very excited to be conversing with a very respected and revolutionary researcher, Dr. Rachel Yehuda and together we will focus on answering these questions and a whole lot more. Join us as we go deep in thought and discussion about how this phenomenon is possible, how it can impact the way we live our lives and where this will lead to in the future. 03:34 Dr. Yehuda’s Early Work 06:39 Discovering the Intergenerational Trauma Link 15:09 Cortisol Receptor Sensitivity in PTSD 17:21 Experiencing Change and Growth 19:20 The Interest in PTSD Research 23:09 Understanding PTSD 26:09 Approaching PTSD in Therapy 28:34 Treatment Options for Trauma 33:35 PTSD: Finding the Best Treatment Option that fits To learn more about Dr. Rachel Yehuda: ● https://icahn.mssm.edu/profiles/rache... ● https://www.mountsinai.org/about/news... ● https://www.mountsinai.org/about/news... ***** How you can help others in a big way...
