Reply to "Epigenetics & intergenerational trauma"

Desperate adults who were abused as kids (for way too many beginning in infancy) from the neglect of not having the diaper changed, from having a bottle propped as the feeding, never being looked in the eyes with kind eyes, and having a cell phone or tablet shoved in our face to the rage that comes next from the parent after a simple infant cry indicating a basic need that would have always been answered in the past when we lived in a tribal setting....  

We want and need people who provide "therapy" to understand infant brain development.  We do not want to go to a big ten school to try to find someone who can help only to find out we get to be put on a pill mill by people who profess to be amazing experts but can't help us and smugly tell us that our ideas are kind of stupid because it wasn't written up in their medical textbook.   Am I a little irritated?  Yes.  I see too many people desperate to recover falling through the cracks and being blamed for not trying hard enough when the real truth is ---- having a brain that got wired for fear and terror and that operates in mostly delta and theta brain waves and dissociation and nothing is integrated with a massive right hemisphere predominance starting from the time you were in the womb doesn't just remodel itself with these simple therapies of talk or even EMDR as an older adolescent or adult.  When I took the Nature of Forgetting - Sebern stated that even Somatic Experiencing would not be enough for these people.  These are the people where the trauma problem is going from generation to generation through massive avoidant or more commonly Type D disorganized attachment.  These are the people who end up homeless or in prison and who have all the generational trauma.  Forgive the typos --- I gotta run.
