Seminar Overview:

Both as a Second Generation Nazi Holocaust Survivor and a Psychologist involved in the support of others affected by mental trauma for over thirty years, I have become all too aware of the potential for the impact of traumatic events to be transmitted across generations. Drawing from my professional work and personal experience including my contribution to the BBC documentary ‘My Family, the Holocaust and Me’ with Rob Rinder, I have developed this 3-hour seminar focusing on Transgenerational Trauma.

Utilising case studies developed in collaboration with colleagues deeply affected by the Slavery holocaust, film footage* and experiential discussion, this powerful introductory seminar explorers these challenging human experiences.
