Katrina Wood, PhD, Clinical Psychologist & LMFT. She specializes in the impact of early childhood trauma on life span.

  • Date: Saturday, January 31, 2026 from 9am to 12:15pm PT The presentation addresses intergenerational trauma and the unintended consequences of cumulative trauma in early childhood.


  • Goals for attendees: 1. Able to identify four key examples of what constitutes intergenerational trauma normalized as general life experiences by previous generations. 2. Will reach a deeper understanding of how "good-enough parenting" failed, with specific examples.


  • Attendees will be able to name four attachment styles and consider how they were formed in the absence of a 'relational home' and the meaning of the significance of this concept.


  • Attendees will be able to notice how diagnoses such as general anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, pervasive depression and bipolar may obfuscate level of untreated trauma which when identified may illuminate pathways to alternative treatments which include applications of theory and intersubjectivity.
