SE01 EP02: But it’s in the past! - Intergenerational Trauma. Tainui Live host Matutaera Herangi korero with Dr Rawiri Karena-Waretini and Natasha Reardon-Willison. Intergenerational trauma refers to the psychological and emotional effects of trauma that are passed down from one generation to the next, often rooted in historical injustices such as the Doctrine of Discovery, which legitimized the colonization and oppression of Indigenous peoples. Traditional practices and karakia play a vital role in healing, offering a connection to cultural identity and spiritual resilience. The impact of intergenerational trauma can be profound, particularly for tama āriki mokopuna (children and grandchildren), as it shapes their perceptions and programming, influencing their thoughts and behaviours. Learning to self-coach is essential in reframing these perceptions, fostering resilience in the face of mamae (pain), and promoting self-love and acceptance. By understanding and addressing these complex layers of trauma, individuals can begin to break the cycle and cultivate a healthier future for themselves and their descendants.
