The body remembers sexual abuse and keeping family secrets causes
illness. Unwittingly and unwillingly, our parents and grandparents
and ancestors often leave us the legacy of their unfinished
mourning, their "undigested" traumas, and the hidden shame of their
secret family history. Sexual abuse and other traumas experienced
in the family's past create insurmountable or unresolved emotional
wounds that leave their mark on future generations. If these
emotions are not expressed consciously, they get repressed. The
pain then persists unexpressed in the unconscious and is handed
down to the children in the next generation. When traumatic things
are not talked about at the time, the body is left with the job of
expressing this unfelt pain. This is what we call somatization. If
such is the case, the child's body can become a physical expression
of the withheld emotional pain for the wounded parents or
grandparents or great-grandparents, indeed, as a physical "acting
out" of their unfelt emotional pain. As a result, it becomes
necessary to get the "family skeletons out of the closet" to reveal
and heal the repressed historic wounds and free the child's body
from the inherited "secret chill." In effect, these secrets are
often carried down as an intestinal disturbance in the child's body
until someone in the family line actually admits the secret, feels
the emotional pain and gets the withheld pain released from the
child's body by talking about it to the clinician.
