Part 2: In this episode of 1 Mile 1 Veteran, we explore the powerful story of Becky Ellis, author of the memoir "Little Avalanches." Becky shares her journey as the daughter of a decorated World War II combat sergeant, highlighting the complexities of growing up in the shadow of her father's traumatic experiences. She delves into the concept of intergenerational trauma, explaining how her father's unarticulated experiences shaped her childhood and led to a cycle of secondary trauma. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of opening up about our experiences and creating safe spaces for dialogue, ultimately encouraging a cultural shift towards greater understanding and compassion.
