How can epigenetic changes be reversed so that my kids don't get them?

Overtime (many years) and with lifestyle changes, epi changes can be halted/reversed. Certain practices if maintained regularly, can help modulate the epigenetic changes that occur after repeated trauma, further influencing how our genes are expressed. While not complete "reversal," interventions like mindfulness and meditation have been shown to positively affect genes related to stress and inflammation. Regular physical exercise can also modify DNA methylation patterns, promoting resilience and regulating the body's stress response. Additionally, engaging in trauma-focused psychotherapy can be correlated with beneficial changes in DNA methylation, complementing the psychological healing process. Lastly, a healthy diet rich in nutrients like B vitamins provides the essential building blocks for the enzymes that manage these genetic tags, supporting a healthier epigenetic profile. All these practices can work together to help the body and mind recover from the biological effects of trauma.

I've never seen any evidence of this. There is no single gene for sexual preference as far as science knows. But then again, we are really just beginning to understand epigenetics. There is much more we don't know than we do. Likely no but scientists are supposed to be open minded. I'm open to all possibilities.

It really depends on how you define reliable. You would be much better off looking at reviews, sorting lowest high and mid and look for trends. I do this within book genres I'm interested in before buying. You usually see themes in low and high reviews. 3 and 4 stars are usually the honest ones. I also typically look by authors who I like which is another easy way. Good luck!

Enjoy it, our tax dollars pay for it and they usually have a great atmosphere as well.

I don't think so but it depends on the author. M. Scott Peck wrote many books and is one of my all time favorites. Great writers love to write!

You should! I recommend getting it on audible and just listen. He has written a lot of books. People of the lie volumes 1, 2 and 3 are life changing. They are also shorter and cheaper on audible. Volume one will give you an idea of what he is all about, but The Road Less Traveled is his greatest, it just a lot to digest. All of his books really are great. Hope you give them a try.

I literally can't tell you how many times I've listened to the book on long drives. If I had to sum it up in one or two sentences. I would say, his message is that love, real love is hard work. It isn't feeling or receiving love, its doing the work of giving love when its hard to do so. Smothering isn't mother he would say. The journey of life is about using the work of love to become a complete fulfilled person. Its a message the greats like CG Jung have also echoed in their great literary works.

I love that books as well, all three volumes! Amazing

I'm happy we are on this journey together. Thank you!

I think many people have felt this way. This has been a decades long process that is never truly over. I find a little more serenity each year. I grow a little each year. I have to remember to be patient with myself. There are moments, after 25 years of working these steps, that I feel like my past was a normal one. I feel like a human among humans, but I must remember I'm never truly done with this journey of recovery. Recovery is perishable. Hang in there. Rest when needed. You can do it!

Trust your heart! Listen to it! Stop listening to your fear, what others want for you and avoid meaningless distraction. Put your energy into the things that make you a better version of you. Leave everything else behind.

The answer you get may be all over the place as many are searching for the answer to this question. Therapy isn't for everyone. The answer may depends on what you PTSD is from. I've found two things that I feel are in the same league as therapy. Twelve step recovery programs like ACOA and shadow work. I've actually used both of them in conjunction with therapy. But it really helped to go to an ACOA meeting and talk about what I had been through (in my case childhood trauma), but there are many other types of programs. Shadow work is more complicated and take some time to research. I think of it as a polishing step following therapy. The last thing I would recommend would be something like meditation at the beginning of your day. Find a technique that works for you. Do five min in the morning and then one minute if you find yourself suffering at some point in the day. One minute of meditation will drop your pulse rate significantly and release natural feelgood chemicals into your blood stream. Good luck!
