Are you a cycle breaker?

So much hype around this term yet many of us are not aware of what it exactly means. It is a psychological term that actually means a person who breaks the cycle of generational trauma, cultural patterns and harsh parental norms by becoming aware of the toxic traits being carried out in the family, getting thoroughly educated about it and consciously not following the same patterns within the family.

A lot of the trauma that is passed on from generation to generation is something people have accepted and normalized in society which could really be triggering for the victim during the phases like adulthood or after becoming a parent. The victim then passes those wounds to the future generation and the injury becomes even more detectable and contagious. This means that the baggage of trauma becomes heavier as it passes down affecting the mental state of every person going through each phase of life till it becomes nearly impossible to handle the baggage; leaving the person in the utmost distressful situation that could lead to severe consequences.

A cycle breaker is one who recognizes this and understands that what is happening within the dynamics of the family/society is something very unhealthy and pure disgrace. A cycle breaker does possess some inbuilt dreadful traits but decides to break free from the chain of a venomous lineage of falsehood, narcissism, cultural influence and fabricated ideas pertaining to religion. A cycle breaker literally wants to break the cycle so that the brutality ends and the next generations to come do not have to live in redundant shackles of misery. A cycle breaker is an initiator who takes a plunge in reforming the old-age mentality that is nothing but innovation in religion and the stigma associated with traditional beliefs.

How do you know if you are a cycle breaker? Read these 13 questions carefully and answer them honestly.

• Do you see the adults in your family act like Gods/Goddesses who you cannot question?
• Do you feel suffocated when you think about your family/friends/community?
• Do you feel unsupported when you want to progress in your life?
• Do you feel you cannot be yourself when you are amidst people close to you?
• Do you feel you are not appreciated when you take a stand or give an opinion?
• Do you see the toxic traits in every generation of your family like emotional blackmail, authoritarian parenting approach, narcissism, not respecting children, child abuse etc.?
• Do you feel like you are not getting enough respect for being yourself (the way you are)?
• Do you feel that you need to do a lot of effort to impress/people please members of your family/friends?
• Do you feel that when you talk about topics like generational trauma or mental health, you are being laughed at or ridiculed or humiliated or silenced by your family/friends?
• Do you feel that elders in your family always avoid healthy discussions and provide examples of how they went through so much and tolerance/sabr is what they always chose?
• Do you feel like whenever you discuss something with your parents, they always make you realize how much they have sacrificed for you?
• Do you feel that the gentle parenting system is not followed in your family and people are not even raising any questions regarding that?
• Do you feel that daughters are still considered a burden in our society?

If you have answered YES to most of the questions above, then CONGRATULATIONS, you are a cycle breaker. It’s okay if you still haven’t done anything about it. It’s okay if you are still a little hesitant in raising your voice. It’s okay if you still cannot talk openly about it.
