Transgenerational and Psychogenealogy: their definitions

Transgenerational: a definition
We call transgenerational the transmission of an inheritance coming from remote generations. These generations are not necessarily known by family members and nonetheless, they transmit what the psychogenealogist or transgenerational psychoanalyst calls the psychological inheritance (see Transgenerational Analysis).
This inheritance can sometimes be very heavy to carry as it can have problematic or even dramatic consequences for the next young generation. For example, a person can unconsciously reproduce the same repetitive problem encountered by his previous generations. In order to be loyal to his family, the person is going to experience the same difficulties and same suffering, which allows him to fully belong to his tribe. Indeed, it is by paying his part that the person finds and keeps his position in the family.
