The Trauma You Didn't Choose | Smita Soni Agnihotri | TEDxSGTBKC

Smita Soni Agnihotri's TEDxSGTBKC talk looks at the idea that some fears, beliefs and emotional patterns may be inherited across generations rather than starting with the individual. Drawing on her client work and on ideas from neuroscience and epigenetics, she discusses how intergenerational trauma can shape the way people think, feel and respond to the world. The talk emphasizes awareness, emotional healing and breaking inherited cycles that no longer serve people. Its central message is that when one person heals, they can open a path forward for their own family and future generations. The speaker's background includes holistic wellness, Reiki and life coaching. TEDx notes that the views expressed are the speaker's own and that the talk falls outside TED's content guidelines for TEDx organizers.
