Multigenerational Transmission of Trauma

  • Bonding System Trauma- Where the

perpetrators and victims remain in the same close family system

  • Symbiotic Trauma - “The trauma of parents

(trauma of existential threat, trauma of loss and bonding trauma) continue in their children as symbiotic trauma” Franz Ruppert

Bonding disorder in generation 3, high risk of further traumatisation

integration “psyche’s battle ground” Kalsched

strategy

The Survival Part

  • Acts as the guardian of the trauma part, splitting

the trauma from the healthy part

  • Denial, avoidance, distraction
  • Control of traumatised self – despising what is

seen as weakness or neediness.

  • Maladaptive defences including illusions and

control of others

  • Little capacity for self-compassion or self-

soothing (seek soothing through other means)

Perpetrator: Victim Dynamic

  • Perpetrators and Victims both suffer the intra-

psychological split; and develop survival strategies

  • Perpetrators become perpetrators as a result
  • f trauma
  • Part of the survival strategy is to create an

internal perpetrator:victim dynamic

Entangled Symbiotic Relationship

  • Symbiotic trauma = Symbiotic entanglement
  • The child becomes entangled with the trauma
  • f the mother as well as suffering own psychic

splitting

  • Child tries to maintain a bond through

wanting to rescue or heal the trauma, and through other adaptive behaviour

  • Original entanglement repeated in other

relationships.

Entanglement at and with work

  • Leaders need to be in touch with healthy part, if

not they operate through their survival strategies

  • People meet each other with survival parts in

business to protect themselves from the trauma that can be triggered in business context

  • Perpetrator:Victim dynamics
  • Work disturbance
  • Heavy reliance on survival strategies leads to

burnout and exhaustion
