A week ago, I let myself have a rage session where I picked a topic and just let myself rage the fuk out. Completely unfettered and with abandon, I screamed, shrieked, howled, growled, punched the air, punched the pillow and said all the things I could never say. It was intense and amazing and beautiful. Immediately after, I recorded my reaction to this session and this is it.

Episode 2 Generational Trauma and How to Heal  

In this podcast episode, I break it all down: my story of how I came to be aware of my ancestral trauma, when I began planting seeds for healing my family tree, how things started to click into place, and how to start to heal it.   

I discuss what is generational trauma based on a fantastic book on the subject that happened to come into my life at just the right time - It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle, written by clinical psychologist, Mark Wolynn.

In it, he discusses how generational trauma can show up as symptoms in real life, he gives scientific research showing that trauma can be inherited, and additional research on what's happening at the cellular level.  

Ultimately, the legacy of family trauma doesn't have to be one of suffering and despair, and with the right guidance, the right knowledge, it can be a legacy of strength and resilience.
