Podcasts about generational trauma

What's up, y'all? Welcome back to Damn We Grown! On this beautiful Wednesday, Mike and Tiff are sliding some serious soul into your feed, and they didn't come alone. This week, they are joined by the soulful, sultry, ready-to-save-the-world therapist extraordinaire, Shimeka Arnold!The couch gets real comfortable real quick as Shimeka drops absolute gems on everything from her early days as an elementary school conflict counselor (shout out to the yellow shirts!) to the profound impact of epigenetics and generational trauma in the Black community.But the real breakthrough happens when the conversion flips to relationships, mental health, and the specific pressures Black men face. Mike gets put in the hot seat about his own hesitation toward therapy, leading to a powerful, paradigm-shifting breakdown of what "strength" actually means. Shimeka completely deconstructs the colonizer-ingrained mindset that men have to carry everything alone, explaining why vulnerability isn't a weakness—and why a true partner is there to help share the emotional weight.From hilarious breakdowns of "energy vampires" and how to hit them with boundaries, to a legendary analysis of a classic James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni discussion, this episode balances deep, therapeutic wisdom with the signature comedic chemistry you love.Plus, Shimeka leaves the listeners with some powerful, free energy-work mantras to help shift your mind, protect your peace, and transform your daily life.Contact Shimeka for all your therapy needs and energy work.www.LovelyDayFamilyTherapy.com@LovelyDayFamilyTherapy

We always promise to pull back the curtain on real relational work, but this week, we are right in the thick of it. In this raw and deeply transparent episode, Trey and Lauren unpack a real-time relational rift that occurred just days ago. What started as a seemingly "small" lie via text message; Trey claiming he was playing in a golf tournament just to avoid an event, became the catalyst for a profound exploration of trauma responses, defensive coping mechanisms, and the long road of generational healing.They break down exactly what happened when the truth came out, how old wounds from past marriages and family histories immediately flooded the bedroom, and the exact step-by-step tools they used to intervene at the level of physical sensation to find their way back to connection.Key Takeaways:• Trey confesses to bending the truth to escape an obligation, acknowledging his dislike for lying but falling into a childish trap of "jazzing up" reality. Lauren shares the immediate somatic impact of the confession; feeling her body drop into a free-falling vortex due to past trauma with a lying father and a gaslighting first husband.• Lauren breaks down the clinical anatomy of a trigger. When a threat enters the relationship, it creates overwhelming physical sensations, which drive us toward old safety-seeking behaviors. These behaviors inevitably impact and trigger our partner, spinning the couple into a reactive loop.• Trey and Lauren map out their respective morning-after coping mechanisms. Lauren recognizes her body wanting to flee to the "separation bus" and slipping into an over-functioning "child maid" archetype. Meanwhile, Trey unpacks his "Soldier of Fortune" shadow side; the urge to isolate, run away, and believe it's just easier to be Peter Pan on his own than to pay a massive emotional toll for a mistake.If you want to learn how to map your own attachment cycles, identify your safety-seeking behaviors, and build a relationship container strong enough to hold your shadows and your triggers, let's do the work together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Black on Black Cinema dives deep into Is God Is (2026), Aleshea Harris' feature directorial debut adapted from her Obie Award-winning stage play. Starring Kara Young as "The Rough One" and Mallori Johnson as "The Quiet One," the film follows twin sisters bearing the disfiguring burn scars of a childhood tragedy, ordered by their bedridden mother to kill the abusive father who destroyed their family. With Janelle Monáe, Sterling K. Brown, Vivica A. Fox, Erika Alexander, and Mykelti Williamson rounding out the cast, and Tessa Thompson and Janicza Bravo producing.We analyze Harris' genre-blending, part western grind house, part noir, part dark comedy; and how she translates her stage play to cinema. We break down how the film confronts generational trauma, absent and intimate partner violence, and the totality of Black womanhood with brutal honesty. Sterling K. Brown cast against type as a villain is inspired. Black women's rage played straight, not for laughs or shame, is the film's greatest achievement.Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community. We review Black films across every genre — from Black horror and Black sci-fi to indie dramas, comedies, and blockbuster action.

This one is for all of my cycle breaker trauma survivors - big or little t, we've got you covered here.

We talk about how trauma is stored in the body and the ways it can show up in relationship with others. Dr. Jalali is going to help us better understand childhood trauma, generational cycles of trauma, repressed memories, and the roles we fall into in families.

Send us Fan MailIn Episode 253, host Andrea Atherton sits down with Laziena Hodge for a deeply honest conversation about self-awareness, relationships, and the unmet emotional needs that quietly shape our behaviors. Together they explore how many of the ways we react, overgive, people-please, shut down, or seek validation were learned as survival strategies long before adulthood. This episode invites listeners to look beneath the surface of their patterns with compassion and curiosity, asking not “What's wrong with me?” but “What part of me is still longing to feel seen, safe, or loved?” Through vulnerability and reflection, Andrea and Laziena discuss the importance of learning to meet our own emotional needs so we can show up more present, grounded, and authentic in connection with others.The conversation also dives into the powerful truth that relationships become mirrors for healing and growth. Intimate relationships often reveal the parts of ourselves we have avoided, abandoned, or disconnected from, offering opportunities to heal old wounds instead of repeating them unconsciously. Andrea and Laziena explore how conflict, triggers, and emotional reactions can become doorways into deeper self-understanding when approached with awareness instead of blame. They also touch on the ways many people overgive in relationships hoping to receive love in return, and how healing begins when we stop abandoning ourselves to earn connection.Andrea and Laziena beautifully discuss how our relationships with our children can also awaken profound inner child healing. Parenting often reflects back the emotional experiences we had growing up, inviting us to break generational cycles and offer both ourselves and our children more compassion, presence, and emotional safety. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that healthy love does not come from losing ourselves in others, but from learning to know, nurture, and honor ourselves first. If you have ever struggled with repeating relationship patterns, emotional exhaustion, or seeking worth outside yourself, this conversation offers insight, healing, and hope for creating more conscious and connected relationships.Lazina Hodge - lazina.com30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton  Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Send us Fan MailWhat if the life you're living right now… is waiting on one decision?In this deeply moving episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon invites you into a conversation that doesn't just inspire—it confronts. Alongside life coach Deidra, this episode explores the quiet truths we often avoid… the patterns we tolerate… and the cost of staying the same.This is not just a conversation about growth.It's about accountability.It's about awareness.And ultimately—it's about transformation.Deidra shares her journey with a level of honesty that cuts through the noise—reflecting on childhood conditioning, the pressure of expectations, and the emotional weight many carry in silence. Together, Lira and Deidra unpack what it really means to hit a breaking point—and how that moment can become the beginning of something new.At the center of this episode is a simple but life-altering truth:If nothing changes, nothing changes.Through powerful storytelling and practical insight, this conversation explores what keeps us stuck—whether it's fear, comfort, or the belief that we have to endure what no longer aligns with who we're becoming.You'll hear what it looks like to: Recognize when you've outgrown your environment  Confront emotional burnout and hidden depression  Rebuild confidence after feeling lost or unseen  Break free from generational patterns that no longer serve you  And most importantly—make the decision to choose yourself This episode also challenges the narratives many of us were raised on—especially the idea that strength means sacrifice, silence, or self-neglect. Instead, it invites you into a new way of being: one rooted in clarity, boundaries, and self-respect.Because healing isn't passive.Growth isn't accidental.And the life you want will require something different from you.Pause & ReflectTake a moment before you move on.Ask yourself honestly:Am I growing… or just getting by?Because awareness is where everything begins.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Send us Fan MailWhat if the very experiences that once made you feel broken… were the same ones shaping your purpose?In this deeply moving and soul-nourishing episode of the Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon invites you into an intimate conversation about healing, identity, and the quiet strength it takes to rebuild yourself from within. This episode features Monica, founder of Mommy's Sweet Potato Pie—a business rooted not just in flavor, but in memory, resilience, and love. What begins as a conversation about entrepreneurship quickly unfolds into something much deeper: a powerful exploration of childhood wounds, self-worth, generational healing, and the journey toward emotional freedom.Monica opens up about growing up without her father, navigating feelings of insecurity and abandonment, and the silent emotional battles that shaped her identity. With honesty and grace, she reflects on the internal work required to unlearn limiting beliefs and embrace her full worth—not just as a businesswoman, but as a mother, a daughter, and a woman becoming.Through her story, we're reminded that healing isn't a destination—it's a practice. One that requires courage, reflection, and a willingness to confront the narratives we've carried for far too long.What You'll Take Away: This episode is a powerful reminder that: Your past does not define your future  Healing begins when you give yourself permission to feel  Vulnerability is not weakness—it's transformation in motion  Legacy isn't just what you build—it's what you pass on From conversations about faith and emotional resilience to the importance of communication, community, and self-awareness, this episode speaks directly to anyone navigating their own journey of becoming.Why This Episode Matters: At its core, Self Reflection Podcast continues its mission of tackling mental health and the most pressing issues facing our communities—especially within spaces where vulnerability hasn't always been encouraged. This episode challenges generational silence and invites a new way forward: one rooted in truth, healing, and intentional growth. So wherever you are in your journey… Pause. Reflect. Realign.Because the life you're building starts with the story you're willing to rewrite.Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

I joined Melissa Duge Spiers to talk about her upbringing in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and what it means to leave a high-control religious system.We talked about the structure of that world and how it shapes identity, behavior, and relationships.Melissa talked about generational trauma and how it lives in the body, not just in memory.We talked about sexuality, repression, and the ways people try to reclaim control after leaving.And we talked about why these conversations continue.Because what happens in private systems like this doesn't stay private._____LINKShttps://melissadugespiers.substack.com_____I have had the pleasure of talking to some of the leading authors, artists, activists, and change-makers of our time on this podcast, and I want to personally thank you for subscribing, listening, and sharing 100-plus episodes over 100,000 times.Please subscribe to this Podcast, In Conversation… with Frank Schaeffer, on your favorite platform, and to my Substack, It Has to Be Said.

For years, I couldn't give myself permission to heal.My parents were good to me. They loved me. By every conventional measure, I had a good life — and that made it almost impossible to look at my own pain and call it what it was.Then I read Mark Wollyn's book and everything shifted.The pain you're carrying doesn't have to have started with you. Your parents went through things. Their parents went through things. All of that unresolved fear and survival patterns lives in the body, gets passed forward, and becomes the water you swim in without ever knowing it's there.That realization didn't break me. It freed me.And now, standing at the threshold of fatherhood, this conversation has never felt more personal. Epigenetic research shows that a father's stress profile and unresolved patterns imprint on his child. That knowledge has made me more intentional about my own healing than anything else ever has.This episode is for anyone who has ever felt like something was off but couldn't explain why.What You'll Discover:The difference between attachment trauma and generational trauma — and why your body can't always tell them apart.Why you can have a good childhood and still carry deep wounds — the pain you're holding may have started with someone you never even met. Science now proves this is not metaphor. It's biology.What epigenetic trauma transfer actually means — and the studies that prove unresolved trauma leaves a measurable signature in DNA that passes to the next generation.Why your intimate partner is your most powerful healing container — what's unresolved with your mother gets projected onto your partner. That's not a flaw. That's the doorway.What epigenetic resilience means — healing doesn't just stop the transmission of trauma. It actively passes forward a signature of strength to every generation that follows.The Biggest Takeaway:You are not broken. You are carrying something that was never fully yours.When you heal, your DNA changes. What passes forward to the next generation shifts — not the wound, but the resilience.If you are thinking about becoming a parent, this is the most important work you can do. Not the nursery. Not the savings account. Your nervous system. Your unresolved patterns.That is the inheritance that matters most.It didn't start with you. But it can end with you.Connect:

This episode is a deep, honest exploration of what it means to be raised in dysfunctional or narcissistic family systems — and the conscious decision to create something different. Manpreet shares the emotional blueprint of growing up without true safety, and how that shapes our relationships, standards, and sense of self. She unpacks the reality of relational wounds, the role of men and societal conditioning, and how unresolved conflict keeps people stuck in cycles they never chose. But this is not a story of staying in pain. This is a story of becoming the one who breaks the pattern. Through practical shifts, rituals, and inner work, Manpreet walks you through what it takes to move from survival into emotional safety — not just for yourself, but for the family and legacy you're here to build. If you've ever felt like you didn't come from the kind of love you needed, but you know you're here to create it… this episode will meet you deeply.   Episode breakdown   00:31 — Relational Blueprint How your early family environment shapes your nervous system and expectations in relationships The difference between survival-based relating and emotionally safe connection Why what felt “normal” growing up may not have been healthy 04:08 — Raising Standards With Self and Others The shift from tolerating dysfunction to choosing alignment Why raising your standards isn't about perfection — it's about safety and self-respect How your relationship with yourself sets the tone for everything else 10:35 — Relating to Men The impact of family dynamics on how you experience men and romantic relationships Breaking out of unconscious patterns and projections Choosing conscious, emotionally available partnership 17:59 — Managing Conflict Why conflict can feel unsafe when you've come from dysfunction Moving from reactive or avoidant patterns into grounded communication Learning to stay present and regulated in moments of tension 20:25 — Rebuilding With Rituals The role of daily practices in creating internal safety Rituals as a way to rewire your nervous system and identity Becoming someone who lives in alignment, not just understands it 22:59 — Truly Breaking the Cycle What it really means to be the one who ends generational patterns Holding both the grief of what you didn't have and the vision of what you're creating Stepping into the identity of the woman who builds a safe, healthy family   Free resources & work with me hereJoin my community IT ENDS WITH ME hereJoin my year programme for entrepreneurs and light works for business and money expansion aligned to overflow here Follow me on socials: Instagram: Tik tok: You tube:Substack: Details on how to work with me here

Parenting feels like the hardest job (sometimes even on the good days). Maximum effort, minimum (tangible) reward.Of course, we love our kids SO much but how do we balance everyone's seemingly never-ending needs with our own self care?  In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Sellery, CEO and founder of the Conscious Parenting Revolution, to talk about how the patterns we inherited—often without even realizing it—can show up in our parenting today.A lot of what we think of as “discipline” or “normal” behavior…is actually coming from old blueprints.And over time, those patterns can either build connection—or create distance—not just with young kids, but even with adult children.We talk about:Why control-based discipline often leads to retaliation, rebellion, and resistanceThe fundamental role of nervous system safety in parent-child relationshipsWhat happens when kids don't feel seen, heard, or understoodParenting adult children and why disconnection can surface years laterThe difference between permissive, authoritarian, and connection-based parentingThe emotional weight of being a caregiver—and why it's so hard to “turn off”Self-criticism, guilt, and the patterns we can become emotionally attached toPersonal growth and emotional healing through parentingHow to begin healing generational patterns instead of passing them onHow repair and self-compassion actually strengthen relationshipsThis isn't about being a perfect parent.It's about understanding your nervous system…becoming aware of what you've inherited…and allowing parenting to become a space for emotional healing—so you can choose what gets carried forward—and what doesn't.

Lawrence continues with a Parental Alienation Anonymous panel to explore Part 2 of the grandparents experience, focusing on what happens after initial contact is made, but connection remains uncertain. Through lived experience, the panel reflects on navigating relationships with children and grandchildren where access, expectations, and emotional realities don't always align.The discussion moves through themes of pacing, control, aging, and recovery, highlighting the internal work required to stay grounded in the face of inconsistency. As perspectives shift over time, the conversation offers a deeper understanding of how to live with both hope and acceptance, reminding listeners that living fully is not giving up, but an act of love and integrity.KEY TAKEAWAYSRecovery is for the individual, not just the relationship.Community and shared experiences are vital for healing.Patience and pacing are crucial in rebuilding relationships.Aging brings awareness of time and the importance of presence.CHAPTERS00:00 - Understanding Recovery and Community Support 02:52 - Navigating Family Dynamics and Generational Trauma 05:44 - The Role of Nonviolent Communication in Relationships 08:42 - First Encounters with Grandchildren 11:52 - The Complexity of Relationships and Control 14:43 - Pacing in Relationships and Recovery 17:40 - Gifts, Boundaries, and Family Connections 20:50 - Aging and Its Impact on Relationships 23:58 - Legacy Planning and Emotional Awareness 26:37 - The Importance of Self-Care in Recovery 29:59 - Final Thoughts on Relationships and CommunitySupport & Community:Parental Alienation Anonymous (PAA): Join our free 12-step support group with 16 online meetings weekly for parents, grandparents, family members, and previously alienated individuals seeking healing and recovery.PA-A.org: Parental Alienation Advocates is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to fostering education, advocacy, and support for individuals grappling with the distressing impact of parental alienation, estrangement, erasure, and family disconnection.All our services are free and sustained by grants and community donations.

Send us Fan MailBreaking generational trauma as a father starts with the courage to face what you've been avoiding.In this deeply honest episode of The Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Jennifer Chase, founder of Rise Addiction Life Coaching, whose story spans generations of trauma, addiction, healing, and family restoration. Jennifer opens up about growing up in a home marked by alcoholism and abuse, her own battle with opioid addiction after brain surgery, and the heartbreaking moment she realized addiction had impacted her son as well. Together, she and Oscar unpack what fathers need to understand about the hidden ways pain, silence, enabling, and unspoken family wounds get passed down. This conversation is ultimately about courage—the courage to face the “ball of yarn” of unresolved pain, choose discomfort over denial, and model healing, vulnerability, and connection for our children.In this episode:How addiction and trauma become generationalWhy fathers must remove shame and talk about the “elephant in the room”The danger of silence, enabling, and emotional isolationWhy vulnerability is one of the strongest things a dad can modelHow healing yourself changes your daughter's futureWhy connection is the true opposite of addictionIf you're a dad carrying pain, patterns, or habits you know need to stop with you—this episode is for you.Rise Addiction Life Coaching

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Maya Kruger grew up knowing, in a way children simply know things, that mothers die. Her own mother had lost her mother suddenly at 26, and the shadow of that loss shaped everything, including the fierce, almost desperate closeness Maya and her mother shared. She was so convinced that by leaving nothing unsaid, she could somehow protect what they had. Then, the evening after a morning hike together, her mother was killed in a car accident. Maya was 18, not yet fully formed, and suddenly on her own in a way she had spent her whole childhood bracing for and still could not have prepared for.What followed was not a clean grief. It was the kind that gets woven into everything, into the acting conservatory she attended in Tel Aviv, into the plays she wrote for the national theater, into a one-woman show called Hand Me Downs where she played her grandmother, her mother, and herself all at once. She got into Juilliard and could not go. She got into drama programs in the States and found herself, over and over, cast as other people's mothers, which she describes as both a wound and a doorway. It was not until she was sitting alone for three days on an Outward Bound solo in the Utah desert, nine crackers a day and a whistle around her neck, that something cracked open.She is now a psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and founder of Overture Therapy in New York, where she works with anxious moms navigating the ways that a child's crisis can bring every old wound roaring back to the surface.This conversation goes somewhere I was not entirely prepared for. Maya reframes anxiety in a way that stopped me cold, and she has a way of talking about the guilt and shame that lives in a mother's body when her child is struggling that made me feel genuinely seen. She says something about what anxiety is actually asking for that I keep returning to.If you have ever felt like your child's struggle has cracked open something in you that you did not know was still there, this one is for you.You'll learn:Why Maya grew up believing mothers disappear, and what she tried to do about itWhat maladaptive behavior actually is, and why context changes everythingThe reframe she offers for anxiety that makes it something other than the enemyWhat she means by parking next to yourself, and why it is so hard to doThe message an anxious mom is actually passing to her kids, and how to change itEPISODE RESOURCES:Free, 15-minute consultation with Overture TherapyOverture Therapy websiteHear Brenda Zane on Maya's podcast, “How Did You Get Here?” episode 22This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

If you want to change your life, you need to start changing your thoughts through self brain surgery. In this episode of Visibly Fit, I sit down with neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren to talk about how you can literally rewire your brain and transform your life.We explore the science behind neuroplasticity, why your thoughts shape your brain, and how faith and neuroscience both reveal the same powerful truth: you are not stuck the way you are.Dr. Warren shares the concept of “self-brain surgery”—the intentional process of changing your thoughts so your brain rewires itself for hope, healing, and transformation.Friend, this conversation is packed with hope and practical wisdom. If you've ever felt stuck in your mindset, habits, or emotions, this episode will encourage you that change is possible.

Dr. Mariel Buqué opens with a revelation that stops you in your tracks: trauma isn't just something that happened to you, it is something that was passed down to you at the genetic level, beginning at conception. Most people move through life in a low-grade survival state, reacting to triggers they cannot explain, carrying the emotional weight of ancestors who never got the chance to heal. This is why depression, anxiety, and a persistent sense of not being enough feel so impossible to shake, they were wired in long before you had any say. Dr. Buqué walks you through how to regulate your nervous system daily, how to challenge the limiting beliefs that run your life, and why healing your body first unlocks your ability to think, create, and finally thrive.

Two weeks away from filming her most ambitious film to date, Cherien Dabis and her crew were forced to evacuate Palestine as the devastating events of October 2023 began. Instead of abandoning the project, they adapted, filming across Cyprus, Jordan, and Greece, creating a cinematic love letter to the resilience, joy, and humanity of the Palestinian people.My guest today is Cherien Dabis. She's a filmmaker and actress who has spent much of her career trying to fill the silences in the American narrative. In 2022, she became the first Palestinian to receive an Emmy nomination. She has worked on everything from The L Word to Ozark, Only Murders in the Building to the hit Netflix series Mo, always with an eye toward breaking the one-dimensional mold that has historically defined Arab representation in the West. But her latest project is perhaps her most ambitious yet. It's a film called All That's Left of You. It follows one Palestinian family across three generations, beginning in 1948 and ending in 2022. It is a story of exile and memory, and it's Jordan's official submission for this year's Academy Awards.(0:00) The Inheritance of TraumaCherien Dabis discusses how collective trauma is passed down and the importance of showing Palestinian resilience and humanity(1:50) Inherited Trauma: Identity And History The passage of trauma requires a multi-generational lens to truly understand how history and political events shape people(2:37) The Bakri Acting Dynasty: Collaborative Lineage Collaborating with four generations of the Bakri Family brought immense authenticity to the screen(4:02) Filming The Nakba: Art Imitating Crisis Evacuating Palestine weeks before shooting forced the crew to adapt amidst devastating, ongoing events(7:09) The Moment Of Activation: Racism In Ohio Experiencing severe racism during the first Gulf War ignited a lifelong drive to challenge dangerous media stereotypes(9:34) Psychological Violence: Impact Of Humiliation The film explores how non-physical harassment and humiliation leave devastating, long-term relational scars(10:48) Broken Distribution: Industry Gatekeepers Navigating systemic fear and gatekeeping in Hollywood distribution remains a profound challenge for Palestinian cinema(11:37) Previous Films, Television And Craft Directing television hones the craft and expands the creative capacity needed for ambitious feature films(12:28) Truth Seekers: The Next Generation Hope lies with young people who refuse to accept the broken systems and hidden truths of previous generationsEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast
