Can You Inherit Trauma? The Science Behind Epigenetics & Emotional Blocks

  • Summary

  • What if some of your fears, struggles, or blocks aren’t even yours?

    In this episode of Modern Alchemy, we dive into the groundbreaking science of epigenetics and how trauma, including emotional responses, can be inherited across generations. Christina breaks down a National Geographic article, 'Can Trauma Be Inherited Through Genes?' and introduces powerful studies (like a cherry blossom rat experiment) that show just how deep generational trauma runs.From hoarding tendencies to money mindset blocks, we share real-life examples of how this shows up in everyday life, and most importantly, how to heal it.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, confused, or curious about the patterns in their life and how to finally move forward.

    🔑 Key Takeaways:- Trauma can be inherited biologically, not just emotionally- Your genes are the hardware, but epigenetics is the software influencing how they’re expressed- Healing isn’t just about you, it’s also about breaking generational patterns- Your environment plays a massive role in gene expression- Releasing inherited blocks can unlock new levels of success, confidence, and worthiness📖
