Exploring Mental Stress From Chronic Disease Linked to Trauma
It’s remarkable how life seems to wrap itself around pain. Betrayal. Disappointment. Hurt. Loss. Trauma. It’s as though we leave the womb expecting the worst and are prepared to address pain by mechanisms of self-protection and healing.
Joy is fleeting. Pain is forever. I guess…

In a recent consultation with an internal medicine doctor, I learned that medical science is now in agreement (once again) with folk knowledge: the first wound happened generations before you and is compounded in each generation.
Joy? Is joy like that?
As with any heroic tale, we tell it from beginning to end and then pass it down to the next generation intact in cellular memory. I believe joy is the jumping-off point and the apex of transformation.
But how do we inject joy into the injuries to heal? If it hasn’t been done through generations, can it be done by you?
