Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling- the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited-that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. It Didn't Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco, Mark Wolynn is a world leader in the field of Inherited Family Trauma.

Hello beautiful people On today's podcast we have the lovely Mark Wolynn. Mark is a world leader in the field of Inherited Family Trauma and director of The Family Constellation Institute. He is a highly sought-after lecturer, an educational and training provider in which he has just released his new training on Inherited Family Trauma (I will leave a link below), and bestselling author of the book, ‘It Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are And How To End The Cycle'. What I personally love about this conversation is Mark's deep insight in and compassion for Inherited Family Trauma. Mark shares what Inherited Family Trauma is, how it could be affecting you and how to heal your present self who may be experiencing mental health challenges that are a manifest of gene adaptation from previous generations. He shares his personal Core Language approach which shows us how language and trauma intersect, and how, “Uncovering our core language can free us from reliving traumas that don't belong to us.” I even share my own personal experience with Mark's work and how it provided a new perspective on some of my deepest fears that have never felt true to me and my life experience. This year I intend to get more experts in their chosen field to come onto the To Be Human podcast, so if you have anyone you would like to see on, please contact me below; I would love to hear from you as we continue to build and evolve the To Be Human Collective.

“The reaction to the trauma doesn't necessarily stop with the people who experienced it.” Do you have symptoms that you can't explain? For example, are you overly anxious for no obvious reason? Do you instinctively push people away or intentionally disassociate from difficult feelings in your body? Do you have irrational fears or thoughts about what could happen that don't make logical sense?If so, there's a chance you may be experiencing inherited trauma; that's trauma, which started with your parents or your grandparents - not you. Generational trauma can impact our lives in profound ways. Fortunately, there is something you can do to transform the fears and soothe the feelings. There is a way to break the pattern so that the ancestral trauma stops with you. Mark Wolynn - author of It Didn't Start With You and the director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco has devoted his life to understanding and healing inherited family trauma. In this must-hear episode, Mark reveals how his work holds the potential to wildly transform your life as well as the life of your children and grandchildren [even if they've not yet been born]. “We don't make the link that our anxiety, our depression, our shutdown is connected to our parents and our grandparents. We just think we're wired this way.” The concept of inherited trauma is backed by science. As Mark explains in the episode, as we learn more about epigenetics, our clarity about the way trauma is passed on increases. Ancestral trauma is often behind the curtain. Logic can convince us that certain things are best left unsaid. But just because we don't hear things doesn't mean we can't feel things. Mark's work empowers people to dig deeper into their familial setting so they can understand the reactions and feelings locked in their body. As a result, his clients get to experience unimaginable feelings of freedom, closure, and clarity. You can get a taste of the potential that healing ancestral trauma could have for you when you tune into this episode. What is inherited trauma?What's a healthy way to experience a healing event if you can't tap back into the original trauma? How can you learn to be present with what is? How to differentiate between attachment and generational trauma. Why traumas affect fathering and mothering. The profound difference between forgiveness and understanding.What is inner child healing and why is it powerful healing work?How healing generational trauma impacts your children [and your children's children].Changing how our genes express to protect our kids [and grandchildren]. Why Mark is passionate about this work [and how it healed his sight]. The significance of Mark crying into his mother's clothes. And more… “We've got to tame our trauma responses so we can live a loving, open, compassionate, and gentle life.” How to contact Discover more details about Mark's work at https://markwolynn.comLike Mark on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mark.wolynn.31Follow Mark on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markwolynn/We thrive on your feedback, so if you've enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

This show with Mark Wolynn about Family Constellation therapy was just so much fun. Mark Wolynn is the author of It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle. If you have been listening to our show for a while, you know just how much emphasis I place on mental, emotional and spiritual beliefs regarding health, wellness and disease. You see I don't believe physical diseases have physical causes. I believe there are invisible opeprators that turn on and off gene expression and these invisible operators are things like... 1. Connection to family 2. Light 3. Radiation 4. Disconnection (from ourselves, from God, from others, from our mission in life, from the planet, from animals etc) The drivers of disease are invisible. What controls the mitochondria for example? Light, vibration, frequency and energy. Having a spiritual connection to our family is so critical for our health. Many times our disconnection from our ancestry is the driving cause of disease. I know this sounds like a radical concept but the more you understand it, the more it makes sense. This knowledge essentially gives us 1 more tool we can use in our toolbelt of wellness, health and disease prevention. I hope youe enjoy this show with Mark Wolynn on Family Constellation Therapy!

If you desire a fun, healthy relationship with hot, connected sex and harmonious teamwork, you can have it ... but it takes consciousness work to transcend the wounding of the past. You know you must become aware of how your parents shaped you, but did you know patterns from your grandparents and other forebears can also be involved? Here, Mark Wolynn of The Family Constellation Institute and author of It Didn't Start With You, But It Can End With You breaks down how to heal ancestral trauma. Whether you're married, in a relationship, dating, or single, this is a powerful episode that proves two things: 1. The wounding from our past will repeat itself until it's healed. 2. It absolutely can be.

"When a resolution isn't made in a family, then aspects of trauma can show up in later generations.

The biological evidence that a traumatic event can break the heart of the family and those feelings, sensations, behaviors, and stress response can then be passed down. Carl Jung Examples of passed down inherited trauma that is expressed in physical sensations. Why our search for a quick fix or magic pill holds us back from doing the real inner work and looking at the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs we’ve inherited. The Red Book by Carl Jung   [14:30] The Bridging Question What the Bridging Question he asks is that helps people with persistent, attached trauma and why it’s a unique question for everyone. How he came up with the Bridging Question that is in his book, It Didn't Start with You, and how people can decipher their unique question to ask about their past. Why your worst fear is actually a nugget of gold as it helps distill your past and heal your body and mind. Unpacking our non-verbal trauma language that shows up in sensations, behaviors, and physical feelings that arise that reflect a situation that’s already happened in the family. How non-verbal trauma language is mirrored in our relationship struggles, who we choose, the type of relationships we have, and even how we view money and success. Why some people manifest inherited family trauma even greater than other people. Bruce Lipton Why it’s not a bad thing if we keep repeating these cycles because it’s just an invitation for us to further explore them.   [21:00] A Map To Your Unique Core Wound Diving into the map of words that he has in his book, It Didn't Start with You, to help guide you to your unique core wound. The process he went through to write the book in 9 years as he was open to receive, explore, and download this information and experience helping others heal. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle  Why he doesn’t believe we own this information about the human consciousness but it just flows to us when we’re open to receiving it. What guidance Spirit can offer us when we suffer so that we can hold our wisdom in an authentic way like when Mark lost his eyesight. How isolation, mask-wearing, and disconnecting from other people during COVID-19 is creating repercussions of trauma that can be inherited further down the line. How similar events to COVID-19 such as the bubonic plagues, cholera epidemics, Spanish Flu, and diseases that killed Native Americans when Europeans first came to what is now the USA and how that impacted our family lines. The bigger traumas we have to consider such as when a family member dies or when somebody greatly suffers.   [28:30] Proactively Embodying Healing Now During COVID-19 Why it’s so important to use this time during COVID-19 and lockdown to do the inner work. What we can do to become more comfortable with the uncomfortable sensations in our body during the inner work process. Why what has activated our stress response is not important in the grand scheme of things; what matters is that we attend to it. Unpacking why a break in the attachment with our mother or inherited breaks is what leads to our isolation, distancing ourselves, and emotional mask-wearing. How our parents’ relationships with their mothers also affect us and our attachment with them. Exploring whether inherited trauma and what type of it depends on gender and how it’s transferred by sperm or egg. Early Life Stress in Both Mice and Men Reduces the Levels of Same Sperm miRNAs Implicated in the Transmission of Stress Induced Phenotypes Across Generations   [36:00] Reversing Inherited Family Trauma The latest research on how inherited family trauma can be reversed in mice by exposing them to positive experiences. Isabelle Mansuy - Laboratory of Neuroepigenetics at the University of Zurich Fear Of A Smell Can Be Passed Down Several Generations Halting Legacies of Trauma | Brian Dias | TEDxEmory How we as humans can also heal by exposing ourselves to positive experiences and calm our brain’s stress response. Isabel Mansuy’s research on Pakistani orphans and survivors of the Nice, France attack in 2015 during which she both found correlations in the victims' blood biomarkers with that of her lab mice. What steps we can take to bridge the gap between awareness and forgiveness. Unpacking the importance of not rejecting or excluding the members of our family even though they were alcoholics, abusive, etc. How we extract certain partners when we accept or reject specific human behaviors.   [47:00] Healing Your Relationship With A Parent Exercises you can do at home on your own to help you heal a relationship with a parent before working with them on it in real life. The importance of attunement beginning in the uterus and how to make that bond stronger throughout your life with compassion. What to do if a family member is refusing to work with you to heal your broken relationship. How we can do the work to heal the relationship without taking it so personally but looking beyond at your parent's history. What significant health issues can happen if you have a broken relationship with a parent. Inner work practices to decipher whether what you're feeling is true or how to take advice from other people. What it means to actually do the work for the right vs wrong reasons. How to feel the sensations of the inner practice both physically and viscerally instead of attaching ourselves to the outcome of the work. What he did to actually heal his own vision by healing his relationship with his mom.   [1:00:00] The Language We Create When Trauma Happens Exploring the biology and psychology of specific language used to heal trauma. How trauma language can be either verbal or even non-verbal. Why we have to think about what happened right before the trauma began to be felt to help us explore the biological and psychological impact of language. His mission to pass on his knowledge not only to his students but to the world in his book, It Didn't Start with You. Why the only way to be inclusive as a community is to include the ugly parts inside us that we've excluded. How our inhumanity towards others is a mirror of the inhumanity we have towards ourselves. The importance of letting go of our inherited family trauma to find peace and clarity on what our life purpose is along this wellness journey. Why living life well means giving ourselves the self-care of inner work. breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community   Power Quotes From The Show   The Bridging Question   "The Bridging Question is a tool to help us get to our symptom picture, how we're suffering, and to see if it's connected in the family history. This helps us look at our worst fear and decipher if it actually comes from inherited generational trauma or not. It's a way to outline and distill down to this nugget of gold because it's one of those questions that when we get to the answer, our body starts to reverberate. If someone's greatest fear is that they will harm a child and they ask themselves the question, 'Have I ever harmed a child?', and the answer is, 'no.' Then you ask yourself the bridging question, 'Has anyone in my family ever harmed a child?' The answer to that Bridging Question and how you feel after asking yourself it will help you down the path of healing."  - Mark Wolynn     Verbal vs Nonverbal Generational Trauma Language   "The language such as that in the Bridging Question that we ask to follow and understand our family history doesn't have to be verbal. What I've discovered is there's 'verbal trauma language' and then there's 'nonverbal trauma language.' When a trauma language is verbal, that's when we say to ourselves, 'I'll be abandoned,' or 'I'll be left behind,' but when it's nonverbal, we have to look for the events in our family history. The physical, the emotional symptoms that show up after something unsettling that happens to us. We look for the fears or anxieties that strike suddenly when we reach a particular age. Often it's the same age as when something happened in the family history." - Mark Wolynn       What Anchors Generational Traumas?     "Why do these traumas repeat themselves later on in generations? It goes beyond just epigenetics. We know from embryology that when our grandmother was five months pregnant with our mother that all the eggs that our mother would ever have were already implanted in our mother's womb when she's a fetus; one of which is us. So, there's this shared biological environment and when we combine it with how a mother's emotions are chemically communicated to the fetus through the placenta, this can biochemically alter the genetic expression. There are other factors but to answer the question directly - What anchors these generational traumas? When the traumas aren't talked about, when the healing isn't complete, when the pain, grief, shame, and embarrassment is so great that people can't look at it." - Mark Wolynn     Links From Today's Show  311 Mark Wolynn Healing Trauma | The "INCUBATOR" Wound In Relationship It Didn't Start With You The Family Constellation Institute The Inherited Trauma Institute The Hellinger Institute of Northern California ION*Biome 302 Mark Groves 277 Christine Hassler Bruce Lipton The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle  Early Life Stress in Both Mice and Men Reduces the Levels of Same Sperm miRNAs Implicated in the Transmission of Stress Induced Phenotypes Across Generations Isabelle Mansuy - Laboratory of Neuroepigenetics at the University of Zurich Fear Of A Smell Can Be Passed Down Several Generations Halting Legacies of Trauma | Brian Dias | TEDxEmory Three Generations of Family History - Inherited Family Trauma Creating an Inherited Family Traumagram The Legacy of Unfinished Business It Didn't Start With You, Mark Wolynn Leave Wellness Force a review on iTunes breathwork.io M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Mark Wolynn Facebook Instagram Twitter   About Mark Wolynn Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, Mark Wolynn is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

Do you know that you are not to blame for your triggers and harmful reactions? Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn’t Start With You, explains how traumas and harmful patterns pass on from one generation to the next. We also talk about the power of mindfulness and other modalities to help us heal these hurts for good. Takeaways: By rejecting our parents, we share or repeat their life patterns. Trauma stays within families' genetic code, changing the way genes express. To transform trauma, we must practice the feelings & sensations of positive experiences.

Mark Wolynn is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco. The focus of his work is healing trauma. Wolynn believes that the traumas of our parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents can live on in us—particularly if they are unresolved. If you’re triggered by something and can’t figure out why, Wolynn says the answer might lie in your family history. He wrote a book about it, called It Didn’t Start with You. Today, Wolynn talks with host Elise Loehnen about the tools he uses to help people get to the root of difficult or bewildering issues and his strategies for freeing yourself from harmful patterns.

Personally, I think one of the most important discoveries in the study of trauma is the recognition that trauma has the ability to be passed from generation to generation through our genetic code. In the most basic terms it means that if one of our parents has a fear of water because of a traumatic instance in their life it is very likely we will have the same fear because it is in our DNA. The good news is, just because it is in our DNA doesn't mean we are stuck with it forever. It just requires a different approach for the transformation because we don't have a memory to tap on. In my first interview with Mark we talked about how trauma can be passed down through our epigenetics. This time we talk about how to identify if something is a generational trauma or an attachment trauma (something that has happened to us) through recognizing what he calls "trauma language". The language we use to describe our trauma will help us to tell which type it is. Take the time to dive into this one. I would recommend listening to it twice. Support the podcast!

When a trauma happens, it changes us. Literally, it causes a chemical change in our DNA. The best way to say it is we're born into fears, feelings, anxieties, and depressions that aren't ours. We do not enter the world with a clean hard drive; there is an operating system that's already taking place containing the fallout of our parents', grandparents', and maybe even great-grandparents' traumas. We're born in the dark with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that we can't explain. - Mark Wolynn What if your thoughts, reactions, and even just ways of being aren't even yours but just parts of your family's history that you have inherited?   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*   Wellness Force Radio Episode 311 Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, and Author of It Didn't Start with You, Mark Wolynn, is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. What You Will Learn It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.

(19:30) Why pain, trauma, and illness can ultimately be our greatest teachers (21:00) How we are born into fears and feelings that aren't even our own. Why certain events that happen in our lives can turn on specific thoughts and emotions passed on through epigenetics.

Why children with a parent that has PTSD are three times more likely to have symptoms of PTSD themselves. The physiology behind inherited family trauma and how thoughts, feelings, and behavior are turned on in our genetics during specific experiences. (28:00) How we develop trauma language and why it can be such an important missing piece for understanding the entire context of why we are the way we are. (29:45) Trauma theory and why our hippocampus and language centers become compromised when a traumatic event happens. (30:40) 32:00 Pathways To Reconnection Josh’s own early trauma as he was born premature and spent the first days of his life in an incubator.

The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Power Quotes From The Show Uncovering Our Trauma Language "I find that when a trauma happens, there's something else that goes on; trauma language is left which we also carry with us. Clues after a trauma are left behind in the emotionally charged words and sentences. This leaves behind a bread crumb trail and if we know how to follow it, it'll lead us to the missing piece of the picture that finally gives us context for why we feel, think, and act the way we do." - Mark Wolynn Shaking The Family Tree "We've got to shake the family tree and see what falls out. We have to find out what stories have never been told, what secrets were hidden, and what traumas were never fully healed. Then, we have to do our own healing work, understand how we're reliving those traumas, and what we can do to bring strength and peace to ourselves and future generations."  - Mark Wolynn The Residue From Traumatic Events "Just as we inherit eye color and blood type, we also inherit the residue from traumatic events." - Mark Wolynn Links From Today's Show Cured Nutrition 302 Mark Groves Alan Watts Bruce Lipton Bert Hellinger The Wellness Force M21 Guide Wellness Force Community on Facebook Three Generations of Family History - Inherited Family Trauma Creating an Inherited Family Traumagram The Legacy of Unfinished Business The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute The Hellinger Institute of Northern California It Didn't Start With You Mark Wolynn Facebook Instagram Twitter About Mark Wolynn Director of The Family Constellation Institute, The Inherited Trauma Institute and The Hellinger Institute of Northern California, Mark Wolynn is North America’s leader in Inherited Family Trauma.

His book It Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle was a Silver Nautilus award-winner in 2016. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Mark about inherited trauma and how it can be the source of unexplained illnesses. Mark explains how the effects of deep trauma ripple across generations, citing the evidence of epigenetic changes following traumatic events. Mark and Tami discuss the work of Roger Woolger and the possibility of trauma descending from past lives. Finally, they talk about what it means to honor our ancestors' pain while also healing and moving forward with our own lives. (70 minutes)

Have you ever said something like “I’m just wired this way” in response to someone asking why you can’t just relax and go with the flow more? Maybe you’re scared of certain smells, places, uniforms, noises and other common things found in everyday life without knowing where you developed that particular aversion. As we discussed in our last episode, our brains hold onto the negative experiences for survival -- they become a reference guide to navigating life. But what if we don’t know why we’re reacting negatively towards the mere thought of these scenarios?   Recently, I sat down with Mark Wolynn and dove into the topic of inherited family trauma and the science behind epigenetics. You won’t want to miss this discussion as I am sure you’ll be just as fascinated as I was with what Mark shares in regards to where our fears and stress triggers come from and what we can do about breaking the pattern for ourselves and loved ones.   Mark Wolynn is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco. He is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. His book It Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle  is the winner of the 2016 Nautilus Book Award in psychology, and has been translated into 15 languages.   In this episode, Mark and I discuss:   What happens during a trauma. What it means to have inherited family trauma. What an inherited stress response is. How we can understand what, if any, stress response or trauma response are actually really our own. How our own language can affect our personal body response to trauma. Breaking down verbal and nonverbal trauma languages into what Mark calls Core Languages. How the relationship between ourselves and our parents affect our current relationships. The scientific research and studies behind inherited family trauma. What an epigenetic tag is & how we can benefit from epigenetic changes. “Trigger ages” and “event triggers” that may shed light on your own triggers. What this means for people who were adopted and do not have access to their family of origin’s medical/health records. How brain development is impacted starting in utero and grows throughout childhood. How the amygdala, prefrontal cortex & hippocampus develop & process trauma and what that means for us. How we can heal as person(s) suffering from inherited family trauma. Tips on how to break the cycle of inherited family trauma. Combining our breath with sensation and awareness, we can then weave in meaning and are able to integrate more positive experiences. 70% of couples problems have nothing to do with partners.

Just as our bodies can carry physical ailments from our ancestral heritage, our psyche also carries ancestral trauma into our lives and there's a way to break free!   "Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Carl Jung   Have you ever felt in your body that there was some unfinished business, or that a piece of something in your life didn't really belong to you?  In this episode, Sheila and Maria invite Special Guest and Transformational Wellness Coach, Teri Taylor, to the show for a deep dive into the topic of Generational Healing.

Support the podcast When working with my clients one-on-one, we usually spend a lot of time tapping for the world views and beliefs that have been passed along from parents. It makes good sense that we pick up the beliefs of our parents because they are usually our closest relationships. Mark Wolynn's work looks at how we inherit our parents’ beliefs, not through the day-to-day of living with them, but genetically as a result of the trauma experienced by past generations. This idea emerged just over a decade ago and there is now a large body of scientific evidence in support of it. In the interview Mark explains how trauma is passed on genetically in our DNA, how we can identify the traumas that have been passed down, and what we can do to clear them. If you find this topic interesting, check out Mark's book IT DIDN’T START WITH YOU: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle, which contains a much more comprehensive conversation on how you can identify and clear inherited traumas.
