Family pathology rolls from generation to generation like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path.

🗣Local folks! Come join us at Women's WELLfest this weekend! I can't wait to talk about my story and encourage others to share their story.

"Excited to be welcoming Lauren Smallcomb to Women's WELLfest presenting "Find Your Voice, Publish Your Story".

Lauren Smallcomb is a Mind-Body Practitioner and co-owner of Flourish_therapy. Her journey as a healer began at 20 when she became a registered nurse, dedicating a decade to caring for patients in the ER. She later expanded her expertise to become a birth doula and, eventually, a nutritional therapist. In 2020, after making the difficult decision to walk away from a dysfunctional family system, Lauren embarked on a transformative process of rebuilding her mind and body through brain retraining and trauma healing. This journey inspired her to become a certified Mind-Body Practitioner. The newfound sense of empowerment prompted Lauren and her therapist husband to establish Flourish Therapy, with the purpose of helping others heal and thrive after childhood trauma.

Lauren & husband Luke from Flourish Therapy will also be in our Wellness Marketplace and will be providing free demo neurofeedback sessions to anyone who is interested this weekend!

Two days. Dozens of speakers. One community.

Women's WELLfest 2026 — Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th March, Chiang Mai, coinciding with International Women's Day.

Speaking about Golden Child this weekend. ✨️

One of the most common things CPTSD survivors share is their utter shock & skepticism that what they endured actually qualifies as "trauma"— even if they'd easily use that label to describe someone ELSE going through the exact same thing.

Epigenetics researchers at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and INSERM have completed the most definitive human study of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance ever conducted — following three generations of Holocaust survivor families, Cambodian genocide survivor families, and control populations across 25 years — finding specific, reproducible methylation changes in stress-response genes (particularly the FKBP5 and NR3C1 glucocorticoid receptor genes) that are present in trauma survivors, transmitted to their biological children, and detectable in grandchildren who never experienced trauma themselves. Emotional pain leaves molecular scars. Those scars are heritable. 🧬
The mechanism — once considered impossible in mammals because the genetic dogma held that acquired characteristics cannot be inherited — operates through the germline epigenome. During the formation of s***m and eggs, the genome undergoes near-complete epigenetic reprogramming to remove parental marks. "Near-complete" is the operative word. Certain loci, including stress-response gene promoters, resist this reprogramming when the parent's stress exposure has been sufficiently severe and prolonged, maintaining their trauma-induced methylation patterns through the reprogramming process and passing them to the offspring's genome. The trauma experience writes itself into the reproductive cells.
The clinical implications are profound and already actionable. Children and grandchildren of trauma survivors show elevated baseline cortisol levels, altered HPA axis responsiveness, and increased risk of PTSD, anxiety, and depression — not because of how they were raised, but because of how their grandparents suffered. Understanding this mechanism means targeted epigenetic therapies could potentially reverse inherited stress marks, liberating future generations from trauma they never personally experienced.
The Pasteur team is now working with EMDR and methylation-targeting drug combinations. This is no longer metaphor — the inheritance of trauma is molecular, measurable, and potentially reversible.
