Healing Generational Trauma
Breaking cycles isn’t easy, especially when you didn’t create them. 💔
But healing generational trauma often starts with one person choosing to do things differently. Even when it’s messy. Even when it’s lonely.
You’re not weak for being the one who feels it all. You’re brave for being the one who faces it and chooses to break the cycle. 🛑 #healing #trauma #generationaltrauma #selfhealing #therapy #patrickcuster

If you’re wondering what cycle and what this video represents, here is the explanation:
👉Generational cycles are patterns of pain, trauma, and unhealthy behaviors that get passed down in families-often without anyone realizing it. They can look like:
– Unhealthy ways of dealing with emotions (yelling, shutting down, avoiding)
– Harmful beliefs about ourselves or others
– Addiction or substance abuse
– Neglect, abuse, or controlling behavior
– Never talking about feelings or needs
– Patterns of unhealthy relationships
These cycles pass from one generation to the next because we often repeat what we’ve been taught or what we’ve seen, even if it hurt us.
In the video, the hot copper represents that pain. It melts through each “generation” (cup) until it hits someone who decides to heal. The water in that cup is the work you do to cool things down—therapy, self-awareness, healthier choices, breaking harmful patterns. That “healing water” stops the pain from burning through to the next generation. Regardless of if you have children or this directly impacts your immediate circle (friends, nieces/nephews, godchildren or even those you have no idea that just look up to you for any reason)!
Breaking a cycle doesn’t mean the past never happened-it means you’ve changed the future. You’ve done the work so your children, or the people who come after you, don’t have to carry the same pain.
I will do that for my kids because they will always be my everything and i don’t want them to suffer
Generational trauma my ass. I've enough of my own life struggles to worry about those who've come before me. Call it selfish, but I'm not cracking again. I'm done killing myself emotionally for others.
So sad that I wasnt able to break the cycle, I think I got worse. Motherhood drives me insane 😢
Yeah my parents broke the cycle and I LOVE my parents so much❤❤❤❤
my parents stopped the cycle
That's why hindu do pind daan and tarpan also called 16 sanskar
Yeah ,I will , as a gen z , and I am proud I will ❤
How can I heal from something that stole my childhood at the age of three and ereased most of my memories of the first 17 years of my life
Amnesia is a bitch
one day ill tie a rope to the ceiling and ill do it but they still blame it on the phone. Maybe were a virus and suddenly my skin turns cold isn't that funny mom? mom you still beat me when I Loved you and mocked me when I'm trying to stand up for myself and stand up for my autistic cousin instead.
That makes sense cuz
iM NEVER HAVING kIDS-
Edit:yall im joking i dont wanna be alone im just checking my future im 7 year old
I’m going to brake the cycle of divorce 😢
My parents broke the cycle :3
My parents broke the cycle of the childhood trauma that they had faced. However, they created parental trauma for their children. Surely i will be the person to break every kind of childhood trauma! 🥺
The one who breaks it has to suffer a lot
my grandparents passed down toxicity in my parents they complain that their parents were not good but they are doing the same thing to me as well i hope i can break the cycle if i can't then i will break the cycle by not getting married at all
I hope this can happen (if I have children, which I doubt I won’t)
my dads side has loads of abusive people i mean some full on EVIL people but i hope to break this
I’m breaking the cycle i teach my son it’s totally fine to speak up, it’s ok to cry, don’t hold in your emotions, to slow down he doesn’t have to rush. My hormones are all out of wack because of how I was raised.
i will break the cycle.
Ohh god my great great grandparents broke this cycle before only 😌✨
I hope I never let my kids end up like me. if I can't protect my kids from becoming me I won't have kids until I can. su!c!de in my head never talking about emotion lying at councilors so I don't have to talk more about feelings. they won't leave me alone the councilor is basically telling my mom I need a therapist but my mom doesn't think I need one. my parents are homophobic/transphobic yet I'm trans and haven't told em
Those fumes probably took a few years off of their lives
I’ll brake the cycle someday..
I’m also planning to break the cycle when I’m an adult, but my brother will still be making kids with his wife well, I’m not gonna get married or anything
Broke the cycle by staying childfree

My parents broke the cycle so I want to make success to make my parents happy 😢😢
