Epigenetics as in traumata....

First it was suck it up. Move on. Get over it. Then slowly we learned that if not addressed properly, unresolved issues as sequellae to trauma (war, rape, child abuse, etc.) have a way of ruining lives, in those less resilient unfortunates, as mentioned in my previous rants here. Now we are seeing that trauma for some can alter the genome epigenetically. So the offspring of Holocaust survivors (where early work was done) have altered stress biochemistry, and process trauma differently from control populations. Shouldn't surprise anyone. Aa.

DNA is much more flexible than we once thought. The descendants of women who survived the holocaust experience night terrors even when they don't know who they're descended from, and the descendants of longbowmen have greater bone density in their right shoulder.
Hi Aa... Yes, I believe that traumas are passed on into the genes as they carry the imprints into our energetic field.
However, these can be cleared. wave
great blog. something to think about today.
Healing is not what I would label as resilience.One rarely is raised,whether in a close knit community or
isolated to be Teflon,or have a temperament for coping with your world getting
turned upside down.Even if someone unrelated to goes through trauma and
you're:an detached observer you learn as you go...or heal at your own pace.

It's part of life and not preventable,or taught at any age as part of ritual.
A. Which thinking human, scientifically trained or not, could possibly argue with all that tight logic? Thanks? Aa.
A. Floored once again....Thanks,... methinks. Aa.
Interesting the term control populations they originally must have herd sheep.rolling on the floor laughing
Good luck with traumatized sheep, we know how that goes.bouquet
If you can outrun a traumatized herd or prevent lemmings you should
be able to exorcise any demons too.laugh
