Send us a textIn this episode of Healing Mindset, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nazish and take a deep dive into one of the most mission-critical conversations of our time: re-parenting the five-year-old inner child. This is the age where so many of our emotional blueprints take shape—our early coding around love, safety, belonging, expression, and visibility.I unpack how emotional imprints are formed not just in childhood, but as early as the womb. These imprints quietly drive adult behaviors—jealousy, anxiety, people-pleasing, overachieving, emotional shutdowns—and most of the time, they're not “adult issues” at all. They're the unspoken needs of a silenced inner child asking to be seen, held, and led.During this conversation, I share practical, energetically aligned ways to recognize your inner child's signals and how to respond without re-opening old wounds. Re-parenting isn't about fault-finding—it's about stepping into emotional leadership. It's about becoming the deeply present, regulated, and compassionate parent your five-year-old self needed so you no longer outsource your worth to relationships, family dynamics, or performance.If you feel blocked, disconnected from joy, or stuck replaying the same relationship patterns, this dialogue gives you grounded frameworks you can deploy across your life—work, love, family, and self-worth. You'll walk away with a forward-looking roadmap for nervous system safety, trauma repair, and authentic self-connection that enables not just personal healing but generational transformation.About Me:I'm an intuitive empath, healer, and spiritual teacher dedicated to supporting “adult children” who never had the chance to fully recover from early emotional injuries. My work centers on inner child healing, generational trauma release, and energetic re-patterning.Through live transmissions, energy work, and guided inner journeys, I help individuals reconnect with their five-year-old self, reclaim their creativity, and build the internal safety they've long been missing. My core philosophy is simple: when you become the emotionally available parent you never had, everything in your life recalibrates—your relationships, your health, your leadership, and your joy.Key Takeaways:Inner child wounds are not trendy language—they are the foundational drivers behind recurring patterns in relationships, work, and self-worth.Your inner child speaks through triggers, shutdowns, and “childlike” emotional reactions. These are insights, not weaknesses.Re-parenting is an act of radical ownership—stepping into the role of your most emotionally present caregiver.Core emotional templates can begin forming in the womb. A mother's internal world often becomes the child's first nervous system environment.Healing doesn't require reliving trauma.

Heather reflects on learning about suicide at a young age, and how early exposure to death shaped her identity and emotional patterns. She discusses the heartbreaking losses within her family, the grief of watching her daughter struggle, and the complicated terrain of animal loss and anticipatory grief. Together, Nick and Heather explore the generational weight of unspoken pain, the need for grief education, and the reality of healing when multiple losses collide. The episode also examines how sleep, avoidance, and self-protection can become coping mechanisms. Through honesty, humor, and vulnerability, Heather reveals how she continues to grow, forgive, and reconnect after decades of grief. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how grief shapes families—and how healing remains possible at any age. This episode answers: What does grief look like when someone grows up around suicide, trauma, and unresolved family pain?How do you support a child or adult who is overwhelmed by grief or panic after sudden loss?Why does pet loss trigger such intense grief, and how can people better respond to it?What are the long-term effects of learning about death or suicide too young?How can someone rebuild emotional strength after years of layered grief and family trauma?Key Takeaways: Early exposure to suicide and death can create lifelong emotional patterns around grief and fear.Supporting someone in deep distress requires calm language, presence, and nonjudgment.Pet loss carries real grief weight and deserves validation, compassion, and proper emotional space.Generational trauma impacts how families communicate, cope, and emotionally self-protect.Healing expands when people speak openly about loss instead of hiding or minimizing it. GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

If you feel emotional, exhausted, reactive, or “hormonal” all the time… this episode will completely change how you see your body, your past, and your worth.You're not broken.You're not “too much.”You're not just moody.Your endocrine system (your hormone and gland system) has been living in survival mode for years, often since childhood, and for many women, for generations.In this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, we walk through, in simple language:-What the endocrine system actually is (beyond just “hormones”)-How your glands (adrenals, thyroid, ovaries, pineal, etc.) act like a group chat in your body-Why so many women with generational trauma live in chronic stress and hormonal imbalance-The difference between women's hormones and men's hormones (28-day cycle vs 24-hour cycle)-The truth about estradiol: the hormone that affects confidence, visibility, magnetism, and self-worth-How low estradiol can make you feel invisible, anxious, and “not good enough” (this is biology, not personality)-How chronic stress, grief, and unprocessed family trauma push your body into survival instead of radiance-Why what looks like “anxiety” or “depression” is often a hormonal + nervous system response-How generational trauma can hijack your hormones before you're even bornWe also explore this from a spiritual perspective:-A Course in Miracles and the idea that “the body is a communication device”-How your hormones are not a punishment, but a message and a call for loveA Christ Consciousness perspective on the glands: pineal (intuition), thyroid (truth), thymus (forgiveness), adrenals (safety), ovaries (creation), aura (your “divine shield”)How chanting Kundalini Yoga mantra works as “glandular medicine” for the endocrine systemYou'll also hear:-Why so many women feel like, “I don't recognize myself anymore,” and why that's not your fault-How “go, go, go” culture, birth control, screens, poor sleep, and processed foods quietly damage hormones-Why talk therapy alone often doesn't shift hormonal patterns (and what somatic + nervous system work can do)-How simple practices like mantra and nervous system healing can begin to reset your hormones and clear ancestral patternsThis episode is your permission slip to stop calling yourself “crazy” or “broken” and start seeing your hormones for what they really are:

In this deeply moving episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Dr. Virginia Marston, a trauma-healing practitioner whose work integrates family constellation therapy, holistic wellness, and generational healing. Together, they explore the profound connection between emotional healing, ancestral patterns, and the transformative power of self-awareness.Dr. Marston shares her extraordinary personal journey through trauma recovery, shaped by her experience navigating her daughter's cerebral palsy diagnosis. She reveals how this life-altering chapter became the catalyst for her deep dive into generational trauma — and how uncovering these invisible emotional inheritances can open the door to profound healing for individuals and families alike.Throughout their illuminating conversation, Dr. Alisa and Dr. Marston emphasize the importance of approaching wellness through the lens of mind, body, and spirit. They discuss how family constellation therapy helps reveal the unseen loyalties, emotional blocks, and inherited burdens that often keep people stuck in patterns of fear, pain, or self-sabotage. Dr. Marston explains why cultivating self-love, presence, and awareness is essential for breaking these cycles and creating healthier internal and external relationships.This episode beautifully highlights the necessity of redefining success — not through material achievement, but through the love, connection, and honor we cultivate within the family system. Dr. Marston's story is a powerful reminder that healing is not just personal; it is generational, transformative, and deeply human.Whether you're seeking emotional clarity, working through generational wounds, or exploring holistic healing modalities, this conversation offers both comfort and profound insight into what true wellness looks like.

In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Adam Schafer, co-host of the popular Mind Pump Podcast, for a vulnerable, authentic, and deeply reflective conversation on fatherhood, healing generational trauma, and building connection through presence—not performance. Adam opens up about his own childhood trauma, how it shaped his identity, and the intentional work he's done to break the cycle and show up differently for his son.   We dive into the power of emotional safety, why performance-based love doesn't work, and the simple but powerful practice of being fully present. Whether you're a father looking to lead with more empathy or a man learning to love from a healed place, this conversation will resonate deeply.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS   [0:00] – Introduction [2:07] – Adam reflects on his father's absence and the pain of unfulfilled promises [5:45] – How unresolved trauma shaped his early identity and choices [8:10] – The pivotal moment he realized his success was masking deeper wounds [11:28] – Why he decided to show up differently for his son [14:42] – The importance of building emotional safety, not just structure [17:36] – Why "being there" is different from being present [20:03] – Teaching through modeling instead of controlling [22:14] – Using breathwork, journaling, and awareness to stay grounded [25:11] – Why your kids don't need perfection—they need you [28:55] – Adam's approach to leading with grace and empathy at home [31:30] – Navigating self-doubt and letting go of old patterns [35:07] – Final reflections: leading with love, not ego       5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   Unresolved Trauma Shows Up in Fatherhood: Adam shares how his unprocessed childhood pain impacted how he first approached success, relationships, and parenting—until he consciously chose to heal and grow. Presence Is More Than Proximity: Simply being around isn't enough. Kids need engaged, emotionally available fathers who are attuned to their needs. Breaking Generational Patterns Starts With Awareness: Adam emphasizes that healing begins when we're honest about what shaped us—and we choose to respond differently moving forward. Your Kids Need Safe, Not Perfect: It's not about being the perfect dad. It's about being the one your kids feel emotionally safe with—where they can be seen, heard, and loved unconditionally. You Can't Teach What You Don't Practice: Breathwork, journaling, emotional regulation—Adam models these daily so he can parent from a grounded and connected place.   LINKS & RESOURCES   Connect with Adam Schafer and Mind Pump Media: https://mindpumppodcast.com thedadedge.com/soulmates Download the Questions for the Car resource: https://thedadedge.com/25questions Explore more episodes and resources: https://thedadedge.com/podcast     If this episode helped you reflect, reframe, or reconnect, don't forget to rate, review, and share the podcast.

David shares his journey through childhood trauma, undiagnosed bipolar disorder, suicidal ideation, and eventual recovery, revealing how vulnerability and self-care became his path to freedom.

Cath was joined by art psychotherapist Gerardine Boyle in this episode. Cath and Gerardine talked about how generational trauma impacts families, the legacy of emotional neglect, what is unspoken, shame and the complexity of unwinding functional freeze in the system. Gerardine generously shared her own stories of generational trauma and what she believes has impacted her on her journey. We talked briefly about primitive reflexes and how the retention of these can be extremely impactful for nervous system and mental health. Gerardine Boyle is an Art Psychotherapist who has worked for over twenty years in Adult Psychiatry in the HSE (health service in Ireland) and in private practice. She is also trained in the Diamond Approach, the Hearing Voices Approach and she was part of a specialised HSE team delivering Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for seven years, supporting individuals with high levels of emotional dysregulation. Gerardine trained as a Transforming Touch Practitioner with Dr Stephen Terrell world expert in working with developmental trauma at the first training workshop in Ireland (in Cork in 2019) and this training has been life-changing for her and her clients. She continues to marvel at how supporting the nervous system powerfully lends itself to healing on all levels. Supporting the nervous system means the client, over time gets to know and trust their own nervous system better and shame is addressed on a somatic level. Gerardine's website is https://morninglighttherapy.ie/She works in person and offers intensives, which is multiple therapy sessions over a number of days (with client staying locally in east Cork, Ireland). She also delivers the therapy on line via zoom as well.The link to the training in Dublin with Dr Stephen Terrell is, https://www.austinattach.com/transforming-the-experience-based-brain/dublin-ireland/ and this training welcomes parents, therapists and individuals on their own healing journey.If you're enjoying this podcast.

Join host Charna Cassell for a raw and eye opening conversation with Margaret Bronson, founder of Deconstruction Doulas. Margaret grew up inside a high control Christian cult and survived domestic violence, child abuse, excommunication, and the long psychological fallout of authoritarian religion. Now she guides others through the same dismantling of belief systems that once owned them. In this episode, Margaret unpacks how she and her husband developed somatic practices to help survivors heal the trauma stored in the body after years of purity culture, spiritual coercion, and obedience enforced through shame and fear. She breaks down what truly happens inside high control religious communities and why so many people leaving them feel like they're stepping out of a parallel universe. This conversation also dives into the political reality many of us are waking up to. Margaret explains how the same ideology that shaped her childhood is now embedded in Project 2025, Christian Reconstructionism, and the growing Trad Wife movement. She outlines the playbook of modern theocrats and shows how personal trauma and national policy are intertwined when religion is weaponized. If you're feeling a visceral reaction to Project 2025, this episode will help you understand why.

Feeling disconnected or unsure? Dr. Pat suggests: Body Check-In: When you consume news about social or political issues, what sensations do you notice in your body? Do you feel tense, numb, energized?Triggers and Ancestry: Think about a recent moment you felt fear or shut down in response to authority or conflict. How might this reaction connect to your community's historical or ancestral experiences?Finding Ventral Vagal: What people, places, or practices help you feel safe and connected? How can you incorporate more of these in daily life, especially when fear in society is high?From Reaction to Response: Recall a time you reacted in anger or froze up around an authoritarian figure/stressor. With compassion for yourself, consider how, if you had felt more grounded or supported, you might have responded differently? What support or boundaries would help in future similar situations?Collective Care: How can you contribute to a sense of safety and solidarity in your community? Could you start a trauma-informed discussion group, a community care circle, or simply check on neighbors more often?SOURCE: https://everythingispolitical.com/readings/your-nervous-system-under-fascism-a-decolonial-polyvagal-explorationDr. Pat's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pat.radical.therapist/?hl=enDr. Pat's substack: https://patradicaltherapist.substack.com/Dr. Pat's original post: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1281714603957641&set=pcb.1281714660624302Resources for Resisting a Coup: https://makeyourdamnbed.medium.com/practical-guides-to-resisting-a-coup-b44571b9ad66SUPPORT JULIE (and the show!): https://supporter.acast.com/make-your-damn-bedDONATE to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: www.pcrf.netGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

But when you learn to breathe consciously, you teach your lineage how to circulate love again.✨ In this episode, we cover:-The science of the circulatory system and how trauma alters blood chemistry and oxygen flow -How the mother wound and generational trauma become imprinted in the heart and lungs -The partnership between breath and blood as the rhythm of divine love

Your posture isn't random nor is it a a flaw.It is a family story your body's been carrying for generations. In this episode of The Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I share how generational trauma doesn't just live in memories—it lives in your bones, muscles, fascia, and spine.The way your shoulders roll forward when you're tired of carrying everyone's pain…The way your jaw tightens when you silence yourself to keep peace…The way your spine bends under guilt that was never yours to carry—These are not random habits. They're inherited postures. They tell the story of how love, duty, and survival intertwined through generations of women before you.And once you learn to listen to your body this way, healing stops being abstract—it becomes personal, alive, and sacred.CONTEXT | The Science + Spirituality of HealingFrom here, I guide you into the deeper understanding of why the body holds so much.I blend Kundalini Yoga Therapy, nervous-system science, and Christ Consciousness to help you see how trauma reshapes both the body and the brain—and how restoring your structure is how you restore your lineage.You'll learn how:The musculoskeletal system mirrors family roles and emotional inheritance.Fascia stores unspoken memories like an electrical web around every cell.The gut reveals how safely you can “digest” love, guilt, and life itself.The immune and lymphatic systems show where emotion has stopped flowing.And the spine—your inner ladder of resurrection—is the bridge where heaven meets earth.As we move through the science and the sacred, you'll begin to see that your symptoms are not signs of weakness.They're your lineage trying to communicate.And through breathwork, yoga, and forgiveness, you can rewire the nervous system and release the emotional architecture that kept generations in survival mode.PERMISSION | Your Body Is Not Broken—It's a TempleAnd this is where it all comes together.Because healing isn't about fixing what's wrong—it's about remembering who you are.By the end of this episode, you'll understand that you were never meant to carry the weight of the Mother Line—you were born to resurrect it.When one woman stands tall in truth, her entire lineage rises with her.You'll leave knowing:“My body isn't my prison. It's my bridge back to God.”Inside The Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary, women like you are remembering how to heal seven generations before and after through nervous system regulation, brain rewiring, and Christ-centered embodiment.It's where the body becomes what it was always meant to be—a temple of remembrance, a vessel of light,and the living proof that love never dies—it just waits for one woman to set it free.CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT JOINING THE SANCTUARY: https://subscribepage.io/jnkwzV Join us in our Free Private Facebook Group Community:   / sovereignsisterhoodmovement  00:00 Introduction: The Body's Silent Story00:45 Welcome to the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement01:35 Exploring Generational Trauma01:48 The Musculoskeletal System and Trauma03:08 Understanding Structural Change and Consciousness06:02 The Role of Fascia in Storing Trauma08:12 Impact of Trauma on the Musculoskeletal System08:26 The ZOS Muscle and Trauma20:50 Emotional Armory and Muscular Holding Patterns30:18 The Digestive System and Emotional Stress37:15 Kundalini Yoga for Healing Trauma40:40 Trusting Your Hunger and Nourishment41:24 Healing the Nervous System and Trauma42:16 The Immune and Lymphatic Systems44:51 Emotional Inflammation and Autoimmune Disorders47:14 Generational Trauma and the Mother Wound53:36 The Spine: Axis of Divine Connection59:01 Resurrection and Kundalini Energy01:03:01 Healing Through Kundalini Yoga01:08:19 The Body as a Temple01:11:44 Conclusion and Invitation to Sovereign Sister Sanctuary

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey as an Inner Child Healer—and how I help people recognize and mend the emotional wounds that often begin in childhood but quietly shape our adult lives.I've learned that when pain isn't healed, the wounded child within us grows into a hurting adult—and sometimes, without realizing it, we project that pain onto others, continuing patterns of generational trauma.In this conversation, I share: • How unhealed childhood wounds show up in our behavior and relationships • Why denial can keep us stuck in unspoken pain • The role of a safe, nurturing home in emotional healing • How awareness and compassion can break generational cycles • Simple steps you can take to start reconnecting with your inner child todayMy message is simple yet profound: Healing yourself isn't selfish—it's how we stop passing pain forward.Join me in this episode to understand your inner child, heal your past, and begin creating a kinder, more conscious future. You can also connect with me on Instagram for healing sessions and daily reflections.Support the showStay Connected with Vandana Light Healing :✨ Website: vandanalighthealing.com YouTube: @VandanaLightHealing Facebook: VandanaLightHealing Podcast: Hope & Healing LinkedIn: Vandana Atara Noorah Instagram: @vandana_light_healing Amazon Author: Vandana Atara Noorah

It's true that the current attacks on our community are dangerous and disorienting. That's the point of them: to confuse us into giving up hope. But the Latino community has always been resilient, and we will rise above this.    There are so many ways we can fight back and protect each other. In fact, there are tons of non-violent actions every single one of us can take right now if we want to. Non-violent action is one way we can pour our strength back into ourselves so that we have each other's backs. I've been thinking long and hard about this, and I've found a few ways you can get involved.    In this week's episode, we're talking about how you can harness your fear and turn it into power. These attacks on our community will not stop us from being the greatest versions of ourselves. We will continue to grow our businesses, support our community, and thrive in every facet of our lives. We can do it, as long as we do it together.  Resources Mentioned: Know Your Rights (Español): ACLU overview + shareable hub.

This week, Gare and I got to talk with Jennifer Fawcett about her serial killer thriller Keep This For Me! We dive into her inspiration for the story, how she was drawn to writing about the aftermath of a serial killer's actions, and how grief and trauma effect families for generations.Keep This For Me SynopsisOne hot August night in 1993, a young couple go to a party. When their car breaks down, they are picked up by a truck driver who attacks the man and abducts the woman. She is never seen again.That woman was Fiona Green's mother.When the trucker, Eddie Ward, is caught, a mass grave of bodies is discovered in his backyard but Fiona's mother isn't there.

"Learning about the inner child process connected things in a way that I had never thought of... never consciously recognized, and it was stark. And it started to explain so much."In this emotional and deeply transformative episode, I sit down with Hilary Valentine to talk about her journey inside The Mothership and the powerful shifts she experienced as she healed her mother wound. Hilary shares how the sudden loss of her father became a turning point that pushed her to re-examine her life, her family dynamics, and the patterns she was carrying. What followed was a profound exploration of inner child work, where she uncovered hidden layers of codependency, guilt, and unspoken grief that had been shaping her relationships since childhood.Through the process, Hilary moved from intellectualizing her pain to fully feeling and releasing it in her body, transformations that rippled into her relationship with her mom, her husband, her kids, and even her business. She bravely speaks about the moments of breakthrough that shifted her identity from people-pleasing and self-doubt into embodied clarity, freedom, and authentic self-expression.If you've ever struggled with family dynamics, carried unprocessed grief, or felt the weight of expectations shaping your choices, Hilary's story will inspire you to trust the process of inner healing and remind you that breaking generational patterns is not only possible, it changes everything.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSLife on the Road – Hilary's family's full-time RV journey and what led her to join The Mothership.The Catalyst: Losing Her Father – Shifting life perspective for a new path.Struggles with Family Reactions – Opening up about guilt and mom's sense of abandonment.The Mother Story Realization – Discoveries through the inner child process.Unprocessed Grief Around Her Brother – Facing hidden emotions of fear, anger, and guilt tied to her brother's terminal illness and loss.Breakthrough with Her Mom – The pivotal moment when Hilary embodied the work.Owning Her Truth in Business and Life**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world. My 4-week Unblock Your Business immersion is coming up the second week of October.

Send us a textEver wonder why you keep falling into the same relationship patterns? Or why certain childhood memories still sting decades later? The truth might be uncomfortable: you're living out scripts handed down by your parents—scripts they inherited from their parents before them.This episode dives deep into the generational patterns that shape our lives without our permission or awareness. As your host Corey Berrier reveals his personal journey, you'll recognize how childhood experiences before age seven program your subconscious mind, creating protective masks that once saved you but now suffocate your authentic self. Whether you became the overachiever, the people-pleaser, or the tough guy, these adaptations create a fracture between who you truly are and who you believe you must be to survive.The wake-up call comes when you notice the maddening repetition in your life—different partners but same fights, different jobs but same problems. That's not coincidence; it's your inherited script running on autopilot. But here's the empowering truth: what you inherit isn't your destiny. By making the unconscious conscious, taking responsibility without blame, and establishing daily practices that anchor you through life's storms, you can break free from these patterns. The healing journey isn't about becoming someone new—it's about becoming who you were before the masks.Ready to put down the generational burdens you never asked to carry? Ready to hold the pen that rewrites your story? This episode offers both the compassionate understanding and practical wisdom to help you break the chain and finally live authentically. Your inherited past doesn't have to determine your future.

Spring Flower: A Journey Through Generational Trauma, War, and Hope with Dr. Richard Perkins-HsungEpisode Description:In this profoundly moving episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we sit down with Dr. Richard Perkins-Hsung—university professor, son of immigrants, and the devoted compiler of his late mother Jean's extraordinary memoir, Spring Flower. Together, we explore the deep impact of the immigrant experience and generational trauma, as seen through the lens of Jean's powerful life story.Jean was born into extreme poverty in China, where girls were considered worthless, and female infants were often abandoned. Her own mother endured the ancient, brutal custom of foot binding, breaking and reshaping feet to meet cultural ideals. As an infant, Jean survived one of the deadliest natural disasters of the 20th century when the Yangtze River flooded, killing millions through drowning, famine, and disease.Miraculously, Jean was adopted by compassionate American missionaries who devoted their lives to serving the Chinese people. From there, Jean's journey would span Japanese occupation during World War II, a fateful encounter with Mahatma Gandhi, the terror of the Communist Revolution, and a dramatic escape to the United States—all while leaving behind a husband and daughter.Through Jean's story, we see history come alive—her resilience, sacrifice, and determination shaped not only her son Richard's childhood but also the generational narrative passed down through trauma and healing.In this episode, you'll hear about:The devastating culture of gender inequality in early 20th-century ChinaJean's survival through the Yangtze River flood and WWIIHer inspiring American missionary adoptive parents and their humanitarian workLife under Mao's Communist Revolution and the personal cost of political upheavalJean's heartbreaking separation from her husband and daughterRichard's journey as an immigrant boy in America and how his mother's legacy shaped himThe importance of understanding ancestral stories to find personal healing and identityThe creation of Spring Flower, Jean's posthumous memoir, honoring her voice and lifeDr. Richard Perkins-Hsung offers deep insights into how historical trauma becomes generational, and how retelling these stories with compassion can become a tool for healing.Connect with Dr. Richard Perkins-Hsung:
