Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Abuse: Healing Starts Here [The CJ Moneyway Show]

In this segment of The CJ Moneyway Show, the speaker describes their clinical work with families affected by child sexual abuse. They detail how they engaged every family member—molested children, their non‑molested siblings, non‑abusive parents, abusive parents, and adult survivors who never received help—through extensive group therapy. This experience revealed the depth and pervasiveness of intergenerational abuse: many perpetrators of spousal or child violence were themselves victims of unaddressed childhood abuse, perpetuating a conditioned cycle of harm. While emphasizing that this does not excuse the abusers’ responsibility, the speaker underscores the critical need to recognize and intervene in these trauma patterns to break the cycle.
