Clinical Psychologist Claims Inner Child Wounds Formed in Womb by Ancestral Trauma

What was said

"The egg that developed all of us as humans was actually created in the womb of our grandmother as our mother was in her own gestation period. A part of us was living back then. Development begins in utero. All of us who come from insecure ancestral experiences—whether they were displaced by war, immigrated to a new country, there was abuse—we now know that's when our brain begins to form."

Dr. Nicole LePera explained that trauma is transmitted epigenetically across generations, with women born carrying eggs created while their mothers were in their grandmothers' wombs. She argued that nervous system dysregulation begins before birth, influenced by ancestral stress, cortisol levels, and environmental circumstances. This challenges the traditional view that childhood begins at birth and suggests healing must address inherited physiological patterns.
