1 小时 2 分钟A part of the process of generational healing is one that requires intentional grief.
Grief is something that we tend to look at as just kind of coming to us because we suffered a loss.
But in reality, grief is also found in the generational healing journey because we have to basically grieve the fact that there are aspects of our lives or people within our lives that aren't likely to change.
But there's also an understanding in trauma healing, especially generational healing, that we can also do little things to actually try and create some sort of a shift.
So have you ever felt like you just can't escape certain patterns playing out in your life, in your relationships and your work and pretty much everything?
Or maybe notice that no matter how hard you try, you seem prone to stress or anxiety or illness?
It's almost like it's become your default state, along with the feeling of being perpetually stuck in one particular moment or season of life that you just can't get past.
You keep reverting back to.
Some of this is about what you've been through and how it has affected you for sure.
But what if some of these tendencies were also actually trauma responses that were passed down to you before you were even born?
And what if, strange as this may sound, that inherited trauma state was actually reversible?
And in flipping your own behavioral and epigenetic switches back to ease, you could then pass that state down to generations to come.
So my guest today, Doctor Mario Bouquet, is here to shed light on the phenomenon of inherited trauma and provide a roadmap to healing across generations.
As an Afro dominican psychologist and intergenerational trauma expert, she has devoted her career to really understanding how trauma gets embedded in our biology and psychology, and then transmitted through families.
In her powerful new book, Break the A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, Doctor Bouquet synthesizes insights from her research and clinical practice into a holistic approach to addressing trauma that's passed down to us.
And she provides clinically proven techniques to regulate our nervous system, restore secure attachment, process grief, and break free from harmful intergenerational patterns, and to become a cycle breaker yourself.
Her message is ultimately transcend genetics.
It's a call to become that cycle breaker, to chart a new course for you, for those who come after you.
And in part of the conversation that I actually didn't see coming, I had my own cycle breaking revelation during it.
So excited to share this conversation with you.
