Generational Trauma Therapy in Illinois & Michigan
Sometimes the pain we carry didn’t start with us; it’s woven through our family stories, unspoken expectations, or cycles of hurt passed down through generations. At Sohail Counseling & Care, we create a safe place to tend to those deeper wounds with care and compassion.
What Is Generational Trauma?
Generational trauma shows up in many ways:
◦ Family conflict or silence around painful topics
◦ Pressure to carry unspoken burdens
◦ Identity struggles tied to cultural history
◦ Patterns of anxiety, depression, or disconnection across generations
How Therapy Helps Break the Cycle
In therapy, we’ll:
◦ Explore the family and cultural stories that shape your experience
◦ Identify patterns that no longer serve you
◦ Create tools to heal, cope, and set healthy boundaries
◦ Honor the resilience passed down while tending to the pain
Our Approach
Our therapists draw from trauma-informed care, narrative therapy, and mindfulness practices. We honor cultural context while helping you find healing that is both personal and collective.
