Another significant implication is the role of self-awareness and mindfulness in healing. Understanding that your reactions and behaviors may be influenced by inherited trauma can help you approach them with more compassion and less judgment. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, can help you become more aware of these inherited patterns and give you the tools to manage them. When you recognize that your heightened stress response might not just be about the present moment but also past trauma, it becomes easier to manage and mitigate it.
