Short excerpt from a YouTube video conversation (uploaded by Josh Trent) about how trauma can be stored in the nervous system and in DNA and transmitted across generations. Speakers assert that epigenetic marks and energetic imprints from ancestors can influence present-day life, and emphasize responsibility to acknowledge, sit with, and transform inherited trauma so future generations need not carry projections.

What do we still not know about trauma?
It's stored in our nervous system and in our DNA, and it's generational. And so what happened 300 years ago in my family epigenetic wise, shows up in some aspect of my life, be it soul, spirit, epigenetic tags. I mean, that's what shamans do very, very well, is there is an energy that has passed through us, and so it's stored. We aren't responsible for what we got, but we are responsible for meeting it where it's at and taking the leap and having the confidence and integrity and courage to sit with it and alter it and improve it and pass it on.
And when we pass it on, the hope is that our kids don't have to live out our projections.
Yes.
Like, that's the greatest gift I could ever give to my children.
That's our role, right, Is that we're given these cards. It's not the cards you're dealt, it's how you play them. So you want to play them in a way that is better than how it was given. That's our goal as parents and as humans.
