Yes, thank you Boomers for these gifts ✨🙄 (at least in my family thats true as well. And probably they learned it from the silent generation (especially here in Germany), the motto was as war children: discipline, surviving, no emotions allowed; and its true, especially my grandparents were always super neglectful when it comes to certain emotions (sadness or other difficult emotions; they chose to live in a rainbow lala-land, not wanting to deal with other peoples pain, abuse, mental illness in the family...and became enablers in that way) --> silent generation is/was even worse in that regard than Boomers/early Gen X imo Thats why I want to heal before I consider having children. Me as a Scapegoat having cptsd and being 34 yo already, that might not happen, but its ok, I dont want to hand down even 10% of what I had to go through in my family to an innocent child. I hope I can heal though
I was relating to everything u wrote & then u said your 34 , so am I so I hope to brake the curse but I feel I being cursed my own daughter left me for her grandpa and step gma so 😞 I have my baby 🐥 girl
Trust me as a boomer we had lots to deal with back in our youth. Racism, bullying and afraid to talk up on issues for fear of being ostracised. The norm then, isn’t the norm now.
@ that’s so so helpful to know. I’m so sorry you have suffered too. No one deserves this. You’re amazing. I watch you daily and incorporate your exercises into my daily life now. I have walked away from countless people who weren’t safe for me and It’s so lonely being the family scapegoat and setting boundaries finally to be rejected and scapegoated again and again. This is so hard, healing, but it’s productive and peaceful trying to care for my body.. it is so hard. It’s been 4 years no contact now away from my ill mother whom I was highly enmeshed with and didn’t know it at 44 😢❤️🩹 Thank you for all your lifesaving work 🙏
We have content on different experiences with trauma and our content is curated by our audiences questions. We have had multiple inquiries on generational trauma and specifically boomers.
@theworkoutwitch "if you were eaised by boomers, their norm was sweeping emotions under the rug" . That is a sweeping hurtful accusation about an entire generation, and something I never, ever did with my chikdren, nor did my silent gen mom do with me. Words can hurt
It’s not from the war. It’s from how people in those cultures had been raising their kids for generations. After all, there’s a reason WWII (& WWI, & others) even happened in the first place, and that reason was the widespread childhood trauma that was the destructive norm in those societies
Because they got to buy a house, raise a family and retire comfortably . many boomers own several houses now and have become the very thing they rallied against when they were young hippies
They’re not, they’re just repressing the unpleasant stuff therefore living in la-la land and not dealing with reality. That’s why they’re destructive to other people
You are so right. ❤
Right?!
Wow generational blame. It’s not like boomers were raised with this stuff
Excellent observation.
I've always thought this too.
I am glad you liked this post!
Boomers will never admit they are wrong ever it’s always YOU who s wrong ….
Uhg! I am sorry you've had this experience too.

Same thoughts. I’m glad you’re awake to the trauma and not wanting to pass it down. I wish no children were born to unconscious & unhealed parents

Well do you think our parents taught us to address problems? You had it better than we, believe me!

I wouldn't have ever guessed
Thanks boomers! I’m the family scapegoat too with cptsd ahd chose not to have kids bc of my genes
I have cptsd too and somatic exercises have helped me manage symptoms

The Boomer hate is strong here. As a suffering Boomer, this hurts. Even we have feelings.

Idk what my parents generation is they born 1940? But they always sweep things under and avoid truth and feelings😢
❤
Please flash words slower
This information is such a benefit
I need more time to read
Thank you!
Because they, themselves, were raised by WW2 survivors ❤
Bullshit excuse. Millennials went to Iraq.
It’s not from the war. It’s from how people in those cultures had been raising their kids for generations. After all, there’s a reason WWII (& WWI, & others) even happened in the first place, and that reason was the widespread childhood trauma that was the destructive norm in those societies
Yep!
😢
Good to know… but why are the explanations so fast across the screen??
This gave me most anxiety 😜
How long per day do u do these
you can get the somatic exercises to overcome this and improve sleep at the release stress and stored trauma 🔗 theworkoutwitch.com/release
Let me know?
Ok so boomers made us like this but why they themselves are so happy and emotionally strong(touchwood)?
Because they got to buy a house, raise a family and retire comfortably . many boomers own several houses now and have become the very thing they rallied against when they were young hippies
They’re not, everyone I ever met is miserable as fuck
The silent generation is the happiest imo
They’re not, they’re just repressing the unpleasant stuff therefore living in la-la land and not dealing with reality. That’s why they’re destructive to other people
lower your voice when calling me out please 😂
lol

They’re not happy, they’re just repressing and avoiding anything unpleasant, thus living in denial instead of the reality.
