Trauma Transmitted Across Generations
In Person: Sydney
Saturday 22 March 2025
Sale begins OCT 10th - until SOLD OUT
“There is, in each survivor, an imperative need to tell and thus to come to know one’s story, unimpeded by ghosts from the past against which one has to protect oneself. One has to know one’s buried truth in order to be able to live one’s life.” Dori Laub
This is a full-day in person event only. Tickets are limited.
Trauma and the intergenerational transmission of its effects had been marginalized within psychoanalysis for many years. Over the past few decades psychoanalysis has corrected that and steadily has been theorizing about trauma transmissions affecting multiple generations. How has the original literature, which was based on the Holocaust and its effect on the second and third generation, lent itself to exploring other histories of trauma: genocide, racial persecution, war and slavery? These histories are, in many cases, unprocessed and unmourned remaining open wounds passing from one generation to the next in search of recognition and repair.
The violence of trauma fractures someone’s experience of being in the world and pulls at the fabric of attachment, our intrinsic way of feeling safe. This unconscious history can transmit resilience, resourcefulness, and care for the other. As we are living in a time of chaos and uncertainty, we understand that the violence of trauma fractures our experience of being in the world; it ruptures human bonds and damages the fabric of attachment. But all too often, the here-and-now is inscribed with darker transmissions: hopelessness, terror, despair, hostility towards the Other. Repairing history means knowing, and mourning, our unknown histories, and the histories of others.
