You may have heard the term “intergenerational trauma” being thrown around a lot in the last year. And even if not, you’ve likely heard of some of these 2022 movies and TV shows in which intergenerational trauma was a major theme: "Everything Everywhere All at Once," "The Whale" and "Encanto." Last year was the year that intergenerational trauma took the spotlight in Hollywood. That isn’t to say that it hasn’t always been around (it has), but 2022 was the year that intergenerational trauma went mainstream.
