This week, Jessalynn is joined by Dr. Tanya Cotler to explore the nuances of intergenerational trauma-its transmission, impact, and pathways to healing. Dr. Cotler, a seasoned clinical psychologist, shares insights on the role of cycle breakers in families, what it means to be one, navigating family members who aren't on the same page, and some of the common misconceptions and misinformation fuelled by social media. Highlighting the significance of addressing trauma to prevent its inheritance, they discuss the power of self-awareness, especially in parenting, to raise healthier future generations, the benefits of therapy, and so much more. Dr. Cotler's insights offer hope and affirm that it's never too late to confront and mend the wounds of the past. Be sure to follow and keep up with Dr. Tanya on Instagram and learn more about her practice here.   If you or someone you know is suffering from the effects of trauma, please know you are not alone in your healing journey.
