Transgenerational Attachment
Captions available
The idea
Transgenerational attachment is the passing of attachment patterns through families, as when survivors of severe childhood harm struggle to form secure bonds with their own children.
In practice
Indigenous children taken from their families into Canada's residential schools, where many faced abuse and neglect.
Where people slip
Not every survivor passes trauma on; resilience allows secure attachment in the next generation.
