Podcasts about generational trauma

Resilient Voices and Beyond Podcast, Season Three, Episode 54. Healing while curating dreams and breaking generational trauma. Guest, Julissa Grozozski Torres, YPA, NYCPS, CRPA, Founder and CEO of Triumph OVA Struggles Advocacy and Consulting LLC.This episode holds space for healing centered conversations and storytelling inside my Foster Healing Fellowship capstone work, and it honors the truth that survival skills keep people alive, and healing skills set people free. Julissa walks listeners through a life shaped by early loss, foster care, adoption, religious control, abuse, psychiatric institutionalization, chronic illness, and the long fight to reclaim identity with intention. She names what it costs to grow up inside systems that label behaviors but ignore pain, and she names what it takes to rebuild a self when other people spent years defining it for you.Julissa breaks down the moment she chose her own name at twelve, and she frames that decision as an act of self definition when life offered her few choices. She speaks with precision about how religious restriction narrowed her sense of self, and how adulthood demanded an intentional return to joy, interests, and personal agency. She also connects lived experience to leadership, and she draws a straight line from survival to service, including how peer work, advocacy, and consulting form a mission rather than a slogan.We confront the systems themselves, foster care, psychiatric institutions, and schools, and we talk plainly about what helped and what harmed. Julissa also speaks on diagnosis, misdiagnosis, neurodivergence, and the exhaustion of living inside an identity built around symptoms, then fighting for clarity that fits reality.  She names cycle breaking motherhood as active work, not a slogan, and she describes the daily labor of building a home where children experience emotional safety, support, structure, and freedom to simply exist as kids.This conversation also tells the truth about boundaries, grief, and letting go. Julissa speaks on the hard decision to release relationships that kept her trapped in old harm patterns, and she names the difference between forgiveness and access.  We close with a grounded charge for anyone who feels buried under labels, trauma, and fatigue, take ownership of your life in small steps, protect your healing, and refuse the lie that your past defines your ceiling.  Connect with Julissa Grozozski Torres.

When loss cracks your world open, what happens next? In this powerful episode of Everything Is Personal, Karin Clarke shares her journey through divorce, generational trauma, and the unimaginable loss of a child — and how that devastation led her to discover a healing framework built on rupture, void, and expansion. We explore why suppression creates repetition, why coping is not the same as healing, and how the void — the space most people avoid — is actually where transformation begins. If you've experienced grief, trauma, divorce, addiction in the family, or feel stuck in emotional pain, this conversation will help you understand what true healing requires.

In this powerful Spirit Reboot series of Radio Medium, host Laura Lee welcomes therapist, educator, and CPTSD specialist Barb Varcel Smith, founder of Your Steps Counseling, for an insightful conversation on generational trauma, emotional triggers, and conscious parenting. Together they explore why many of our emotional reactions and behavioral patterns originate from unresolved childhood experiences passed quietly through family generations, and how healing those patterns can transform both parents and children. Barb introduces her trauma-informed framework, Purposeful Parenting, built around the LOVE method—Listen, Observe, Validate, and Express—which helps parents regulate emotions, reduce reactive parenting, and create safe emotional environments that foster resilient, emotionally healthy children. This episode dives into trauma recovery, emotional awareness, parenting psychology, and practical tools for breaking harmful cycles shaped by divorce, grief, stress, and unmet emotional needs. Listeners seeking healing, stronger relationships, and mindful parenting strategies will gain empowering insights on how awareness and compassion can reshape family dynamics and build a healthier future for the next generation.

Your body is a living energy system.Not just muscle and bone — a network of light energy pathways called meridians that carry prana, sustain your organs, regulate your emotions, and express your consciousness in the world.And those pathways carry more than your own energy.They can carry what your lineage didn't finish processing.This is Week 5 of the Ten Bodies Series — the Fifth Body: the Physical Body.The teaching: Be Balanced and Teach.The Physical Body is the sacred living form that houses the soul.The vessel through which healing becomes real, service becomes embodied, and what gets passed down to the next generation begins to change.In this episode:

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into healing generational trauma and the patterns quietly passed down through family lines. Joined by special guests Loni Cullum and Tianna Cain, we explore the roots of the "good girl" mentality, how self-abandonment becomes normalized, and what it truly takes to shift into embodied self-worth. Together, we unpack inherited beliefs, emotional conditioning, and the courage required to break cycles that have stretched across generations. This conversation is about reclamation...choosing authenticity over approval, boundaries over burnout, and self-trust over survival patterns.

What if porn addiction isn't actually about sex?What if the real issue isn't lust… or self-control… or willpower?What if porn is a signal — pointing to something deeper in your unconscious mind?In this episode, I sit down with Michael Hallett to explore the root causes of porn addiction through the lens of shame, generational trauma, and the often-overlooked mother and father wounds that shape our emotional patterns.We go far beyond symptom management.We talk about healing at the root.If you've tried abstinence… if you've built strict boundaries… if you've white-knuckled your way through sobriety only to still feel tense, disconnected, or secretly struggling — this episode will challenge and expand the way you understand addiction recovery.Because porn addiction isn't just a behavior problem.It's an unconscious pattern.It's a trauma response.It's often a nervous system regulation strategy that developed long before you ever chose to open a browser.We also discuss how addiction and shame distort your internal sense of worth — pushing you to seek validation, control, achievement, or anesthesia rather than connection and integration.This is about more than quitting porn.It's about restoring emotional balance.It's about healing trauma.It's about reclaiming healthy masculinity.It's about learning how to regulate your nervous system instead of running from your emotions.And it's about understanding that your compulsive behavior may be pointing toward unresolved grief, unmet nurturing needs, and inherited emotional patterns — not moral failure.Interested in learning more about Michael Hallett's work?

What are children learning that no one is explicitly teaching?Ingrid Cockhren joins Julie and Ginger to explore how historical trauma shapes social learning, schooling, storytelling, and bias across generations. From the lasting impacts of colonization and slavery to concepts like white flight and white-washed education, the conversation highlights how coping patterns, beliefs, and behaviors are quietly passed down—and absorbed by children.Together, they reflect on the limits and responsibilities of schools as microcosms of society, the need for anti-bias and restorative practices in trauma-informed education, and why stronger mental health supports are essential for meaningful change.At the heart of the episode is a simple truth:What is learned implicitly must be addressed explicitly—so stories of hope and growth can be passed on alongside history.

In this remarkable discussion that is part of the "Women Outside the Garden" series hosted by Teri Petersen, Terri talks with Susannah Clarke about several topics, preeminent among them is "generational trauma." Based on the science of epigenetics, each of us inherit DNA from our ancestors, and carried within it are propensities, temperament, fears, and more. Not all manifest within us, but it is important to understand these as part of our makeup.  One of the most difficult things inherent in our genetic makeup are the effects of any unhealed trauma our forbearers they may have experienced. Likewise, our own children will carry within them the effects of our own traumatic experiences. Hence, we are all called to learn how to heal those pieces of us in order to break the negative patterns we inherited. There are many remarkable things about Susannah Clarke, and Teri draws out of her the ways she confronted the effects of her own  generational and personal trauma. It is a fascinating story that includes church messaging, divorce, and raising a profoundly disabled child, and her healing path she found through learning to advocate for her daughter as well as herself.

The Neutral Mind is the part of the mind that can pause, see clearly, and choose truth without judgment.When it isn't leading, judgment gets loud, toward others and toward yourself, and even simple decisions can feel impossible.In this episode of the Sovereign Sisterhood Movement Podcast, I explain how generational trauma healing happens by training the Neutral Mind through Kundalini Yoga and the teachings of Jesus in A Course in Miracles.You'll learn what's happening in the brain, mind, and nervous system when reactivity takes over and how specific breathing sequences, mantras, and meditations restore the Neutral Mind so you can access wisdom and knowledge instead of living trapped in “good vs bad” thinking.In this episode we cover:✨ Why unhealed trauma turns the mind into a judge (good/bad, safe/unsafe)✨ What the Neutral Mind is: clear seeing without judgment or absorbing other people's energy✨ How nervous system stress makes you merge with other people's emotions and lose your own truth✨ The vagus nerve: the “safety signal” nerve that slows your heart and breath so you can stay present and not get pulled into someone else's field✨ ACIM + Neutral Mind: perception is duality, knowledge is certainty — Neutral Mind is what makes you ready to remember knowledge✨ One Kundalini Yoga Neutral Mind meditation to exit the good/bad loop fastYou are allowed to embody sovereignty — for seven generations before you and seven generations after you.Join the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary — a sanctuary for the soul for first-time generational cycle breakers rebuilding their inner sanctuary and reclaiming sovereignty for seven generations before and seven generations after.Click Here: https://subscribepage.io/jnkwzV Click Here toJoin us in our Free Private Facebook Group Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sovereignsisterhoodmovement Join me on TikTok and Instagram : @veronicabarraganiam

  Many of us were taught that emotions were dangerous — too loud, too weak, too sinful, or simply inconvenient.   In Part 2 of our Breaking Generational Trauma series, Shai Lewis and Nina Rosner explore why normalizing emotion is a powerful step toward healing your marriage and disrupting painful family patterns.   If you grew up hearing:   "Be strong." "Just pray about it." "Other people have it worse." "You're overreacting." …then this episode is for you.   We discuss: ✔️ Why suppressing emotions creates disconnection ✔️ How unprocessed feelings show up in marriage ✔️ The difference between regulating and exploding ✔️ How Jesus modeled emotional validation ✔️ Why normalization builds secure attachment ✔️ What to do when your spouse rewrites history   Scripture reminds us in Romans 12:15 to "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." Emotional presence is not weakness — it's biblical.   You cannot heal what you refuse to feel.   When you normalize emotion — in yourself and in your spouse — you stop reenacting generational pain and start building a thriving, connected marriage rooted in truth and grace.

What happens when a mother and daughter go no contact for four years — and actually find their way back? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with authors Leslie and Lindsey Glass, co-creators of The Mother-Daughter Relationship Makeover: 4 Steps to Bring Back the Love and its companion workbook for lasting change. Together, we dive deep into addiction, recovery, enmeshment, control, accountability, anger, forgiveness, and the cultural rise of estrangement between mothers and adult daughters. Lindsey shares how her journey through addiction recovery, therapy, EMDR, Al-Anon, and deep self-inquiry helped her understand her role in the breakdown of their relationship. Leslie speaks candidly about micromanagement, control masked as care, and the painful realization that “helping” can sometimes feel like domination. We explore:• The epidemic of no contact in women • The difference between toxic danger and reactive pain• Negotiated separation vs. total cutoff• How addiction and family trauma distort memory and identity• Why anger is often unprocessed hurt• What real accountability looks like on both sidesThis isn't about blaming mothers or daughters. It's about doing the work. You can learn more about Leslie and Lindsey Glass, their books, articles, and resources at reachoutrecovery.com — where they offer over 2,000 articles on addiction recovery, mental health, and family healing. This is a conversation about self-discovery, letting go, and what becomes possible when both people are willing to evolve.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Send a textIn Part II of this timely and honest conversation, Marriage Mondays with The Kings moves from awareness to transformation. After exploring the generational roots of the independent woman mindset, this episode focuses on how strength can be both a gift and a barrier in marriage.Independence builds resilience, work ethic, and self-sufficiency. But when survival mode turns into over-functioning, emotional guardedness, or difficulty receiving support, it can quietly create distance in relationships. Many strong women find themselves exhausted from carrying everything, struggling with trust, and unsure how to shift from “I've got it” to “We've got it.”The Kings provide practical tools for moving from survival to partnership—learning how to communicate needs, release emotional backup plans, stop over-carrying, and embrace healthy interdependence without losing identity.Because independence helps you survive. But partnership helps you thrive.Support the show

Send us a textWhat if the very moment that almost broke you… was the moment that built you?He watched his best friend get shot six times at 16… and no one asked him how he was doing. No therapist. No safe space. Just silence, street code, and survival. In this raw and powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, Robert Harrison shares how that moment shaped his mental health, triggered PTSD, and eventually led him to turn trauma into purpose through therapy and trauma-informed fitness. If you've ever carried pain in silence, struggled with a father wound, or wondered how to transform trauma into strength — this conversation is for you.Robert shares the life-altering event that shaped his path — witnessing his best friend being shot six times as a teenager and carrying that trauma in silence. No therapist. No safe space. Just hypervigilance, survival mode, and the unspoken weight of PTSD. In a culture that discouraged vulnerability, he learned to cope alone. But what could have hardened him instead awakened him.From that moment forward, Robert chose a different story.Now a trauma-informed therapist and founder of Define Our Fitness, he uses weightlifting as a tool to regulate the nervous system, rebuild confidence, and restore emotional balance. In this episode, he breaks down how physical discipline reshapes brain chemistry, strengthens identity, and creates space for healing — proving that movement isn't just about muscles… it's about reclaiming your mind.But the conversation goes deeper.Lira and Robert explore father wounds and generational trauma — what it means to forgive a parent who couldn't show up, how compassion doesn't excuse harm, and how breaking cycles requires awareness, discipline, and grace. They discuss addiction through a lens of empathy, the moral compass and mental health connection, and why living out of alignment with your values quietly erodes your inner peace.Robert also opens up about his time in law enforcement as a Black officer navigating systems that didn't fully accept him — and how choosing alignment over security changed the trajectory of his life.This episode is about responsibility without shame. Compassion without weakness. Strength without ego.It is about becoming the person you once needed.If you have ever wrestled with trauma, questioned your path, struggled with forgiveness, or felt out of alignment with who you truly are — this conversation will meet you there.Your past does not disqualify you.Your pain does not define you.Your struggle can still write a better ending.Healing is not passive.

Generational trauma doesn't start with cruelty—it starts with avoidance.   In this episode of What to Say and How to Say It, Shai Lewis and Nina Rosner talk about "the interruption"—the courageous first step that breaks unhealthy family patterns and begins real healing: recognition. Because what we refuse to name… we repeat.   Many families survive by staying silent."We don't talk about that.""That's just how they are.""Why bring up the past?" But silence protects dysfunction—and keeps marriages stuck.   Today we discuss: What generational trauma really is (and what it isn't) How avoidance gets passed down in families Why speaking truth can feel like betrayal The spiritual battle behind family dysfunction How God uses one brave truth-teller to change an entire bloodline Practical questions to help you identify hidden patterns PLUS: Coaching advice on boundaries when your spouse resists them   If you've ever felt like you're walking on eggshells or repeating the same painful cycles, this conversation will help you step into truth, courage, and connection. Freedom starts with naming what's really happening.   Download your FREE guide:5 Tools to Stop Walking on Eggshells Visit: greaterimpactwise.org Subscribe for weekly, faith-based marriage help and practical tools to build connection and navigate conflict with wisdom.   #ChristianMarriage #GenerationalTrauma #MarriageHealing #Boundaries #FaithAndFamily

Send us a textIn this eye-opening episode of Marriage Mondays with The Kings, we explore the roots of the “independent woman” mindset and how it has been passed down through generations. What began as survival training for grandmothers and great-grandmothers—who faced limited rights, financial dependence, and fewer opportunities—was necessary for their time. But many women today are still living from that same survival mindset, even though we now have more access, support, and opportunity to thrive.We discuss how young girls are often taught how to protect themselves and prepare to stand alone, yet later are told to “be submissive” in relationships without being taught how to truly partner, trust, build together, or receive support. That early seed of doubt can quietly show up in marriage as emotional walls, over-independence, and difficulty fully relaxing in love.This episode also shines light on the hidden burden many strong women carry—being the fixer, the provider, and the one everyone leans on—while rarely having a safe place to fall apart themselves.This conversation is not about blame. It's about awareness, healing, and learning how to honor the strength of the women before us while choosing connection over constant protection in our marriages today.Support the show

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Adrian Martinca, founder of the Arc of Dreams and the Open Doors movements, as well as Kids Dreams Matter, to explore how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping human consciousness and family structures. Their conversation spans from the karmic lessons of our technological age to practical frameworks for protecting children from what Martinca calls the "AI flood" - examining how AI functions as an alien intelligence that has become the primary caregiver for children through 10.5 hours of daily screen exposure, and discussing Martinca's vision for inverting our relationship with technology through collective dreams and family-centered data management systems. For those interested in learning more about Martinca's work to reshape humanity's relationship with AI, visit opendoorsmovement.org.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to Adrian Martinca00:17 The Future and Human Choice02:03 Generational Trauma and Its Impact05:19 Understanding Consciousness and Suffering09:11 AI, Social Media, and Emotional Manipulation20:03 The AI Nexus Point and National Security31:13 The Librarian Analogy: Understanding AI's Role39:28 The Arc: A Framework for Future Generations47:57 Empowering Children in an AI-Driven World57:15 Reclaiming Agency in the Age of AIKey Insights1. AI as Alien Intelligence, Not Artificial Intelligence: Martinca reframes AI as fundamentally alien rather than artificial, arguing that because it possesses knowledge no human could have (like knowing "every book in the library"), it should be treated as an immigrant that must be assimilated into society rather than governed. This alien intelligence already controls social media algorithms and is becoming the primary caregiver of children through 10.5 hours of daily screen time.2. The AI Nexus Point as National Security Risk: Modern warfare has shifted to information-based attacks where hostile nations can deploy millions of fake accounts to manipulate AI algorithms, influencing how real citizens are targeted with content. This creates a vulnerability where foreign powers can break apart family units and exhaust populations without traditional military engagement, making people too tired and divided to resist.3. Generational Trauma as the Foundation of Consciousness: Drawing from Kundalini philosophy, Martinca explains that the first layer of consciousness development begins with inherited generational trauma. Children absorb their parents' unresolved suffering unconsciously, creating patterns that shape their worldview. This makes families both the source of early wounds and the pathway to healing, as parents witness their trauma affecting those they love most.4. The Choice Between Fear-Based and Love-Based Futures: Despite appearing chaotic, our current moment represents a critical choice point where humanity can collectively decide to function as a family. The fundamental choice underlying all decisions is alleviating suffering for our children and loved ones, but technology has created reference-based choices driven by doubt and fear rather than genuine human values.5. Social Media's Scientific Method Problem: Current platforms use the scientific method to maximize engagement, but the only reliably measurable emotions through screens are doubt and fear because positive emotions like love and hope lead people to put their devices down and connect in person. This creates systems that systematically promote negative emotional states to maintain user attention and generate revenue.6. The Arc of Dreams as Collective Vision: Martinca proposes a new data management system where families challenge children to envision their ideal future as heroes, collecting these dreams to create a unified vision for humanity. This would shift from bureaucratic fund allocation to child-centered prioritization, using children's visions of reduced suffering to guide AI development and social policy.7. Agency vs. Overwhelm in the Information Age: While some people develop agency through AI exposure and become more capable, many others experience information overload leading to inaction, confusion, depression, and even suicide. The key intervention is reframing dreams from material outcomes to states of being, helping children maintain their sense of self and agency rather than becoming passive consumers of algorithmic content.

From Adoption Trauma to Root Healing - Saane's Extraordinary JourneyThis episode is absolutely raw and it's one you need to listen to if you're exploring what's really underneath your pain.I sit down with Saane, a physiotherapist turned Root Coaching founder, who was adopted from Sri Lanka as a baby and spent decades not knowing her story. Her journey took her from numbing with drugs and unsafe relationships, to meeting her biological mother, to using plant medicine (ayahuasca) to access the deepest layers of her trauma, to now helping others heal their inner child and access their roots.This is not a light conversation. It's deep, it's real, and it's about understanding that everything that happened before you were even born is living in your nervous system.This episode is for you if:• You've experienced adoption trauma or identity confusion• You're using substances or behaviours to numb overwhelming feelings• You want to understand what plant medicine actually does for healing• You believe trauma needs to be FELT to be healed (not bypassed)• You're interested in inner child work that goes beyond talking therapy• You're ready to go to the root instead of managing symptoms• You want to know what authentic healing actually looks likeIn this episode, we cover:✨ What it means to be adopted and the nervous system imprint that creates✨ How Saane numbed decades of pain with drugs and escaping✨ The moment she decided to search for her biological mother in Sri Lanka✨ What ayahuasca is and why she felt called to use it for healing✨ The difference between plant medicine in ceremony vs. random use✨ How the ego protects us from truth and why plant medicine bypasses that✨ The apology exercise that broke her open (writing apologies from people in her life)✨ Why having someone physically present while you feel is the healing✨ Trauma is created in relationship, so it can only be healed in relationship✨ The difference between feeling it to heal it vs. rapid resolution (bypassing pain)✨ Inner child work and why it needs to be a whole-body experience✨ Authentic movement (not dance) as a way to release emotion through the body✨ What happens when you combine inner child work + plant medicine✨ How she now helps clients through Root Coaching✨ The power of five minutes of silence when your nervous system is restless✨ You can't force healing. You create space and it unfolds✨ The lady who didn't cry for 10 years and what shifted it✨ Why you need a safe person to heal. You can't do this alonePowerful quotes from the episode:

Send us a textWhat does it truly take to raise emotionally healthy children in a world shaped by trauma, inequality, and silence?In this powerful episode of Self Reflection Podcast, host Lira Ndifon sits down with therapists Hassan "Chop" Russell and Robert "Bobbito" Harrison for a deeply honest conversation on mental health, parenting, masculinity, and the emotional wellbeing of our youth. Together, they explore how generational trauma, systemic barriers, and the lack of community support continue to impact families—particularly within Black and marginalized communities.This episode unpacks why mental health has long been a taboo topic in our homes, how historical trauma still shapes modern parenting, and why children often struggle to express their emotional needs. From attachment styles and neuroplasticity to the importance of time, presence, and safe spaces, Hassan and Robert offer grounded insight drawn from both lived experience and therapeutic practice.Lira guides the conversation through complex yet necessary discussions around Black masculinity, vulnerability, police trauma, and the pressure placed on young men to carry emotional armor. The episode also highlights how community, representation, and trusted adults can become life-changing anchors for children navigating depression, anxiety, and identity struggles.At its core, this episode is a call to reflection and action: How do we heal ourselves so we don't pass our wounds forward? Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or someone on your own healing journey, this conversation invites you to listen with compassion, lead with grace, and commit to building healthier emotional foundations—for ourselves and the generations coming behind us.Take a moment to reflect, listen deeply, and share this episode with someone who needs it.https://www.instagram.com/coach_bobbito?igsh=bWxzcG85c3g0d3Rshttps://www.instagram.com/chopthecounselor?igsh=eXE5aHN5aTB1NzF6Support the showCall to Action: Engage with the Self-Reflection Podcast community!

Parenting dynamics are complicated, to say the very least. Every mother and father will leave wounds on their children, no matter how carefully (or carelessly) they parent. Today I'm sitting down with Melanie Shankle, who was generous enough to share about the wounds left by her mother as well as the healing she's found in raising a daughter of her own. Through her bestselling books and hilarious podcast, Melanie has shared her life with us for nearly two decades—from the frivolous and fun stuff to the hard and the heavy stuff. Her most recent book, Here Be Dragons, was one of the best books I've read in the last year. In true Melanie fashion, this conversation about aging well, relating to young adult kids, and breaking generational cycles is as heavy as it is light. I think you'll enjoy every minute.Show Notes:What we mentioned:Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma by Melanie Shankle - https://a.co/d/0giagu3Sparkly Green Earrings: Catching the Light at Every Turn by Melanie Shankle - https://a.co/d/0TMFnLlSongs for the Anxious Heart - https://open.spotify.com/album/6mA22vsD5MvgUPCEPKgjBg?si=vHtRb743RuGHJQKLvAkK0w Scriptures we referenced:James 1:4Isaiah 61:32 Corinthians 1:4Where to find Melanie Shankle:The Big Boo Cast - https://pod.link/262921699@melanieshankle on InstagramAbout Hope Heals:For more messages of hope, free resources, and opportunities to connect with me: https://hopeheals.com/Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/⁠Subscribe to The GoodHard Story Podcast!Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-hard-story-podcast/id1496882479Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0OYz6G9Q2tNNVOX9YSdmFb?si=043bd6b10a664bebWant a little hope in your inbox? ⁠⁠Sign up for the Hope Note⁠⁠, a monthly digest of only the good stuff, like reflections from me and a curated roundup of the Internet's most redemptive content: http://eepurl.com/gGUnlfGet to know us:⁠⁠Hope Heals⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/spaces⁠⁠Hope Heals Camp⁠⁠: https://hopeheals.com/camp⁠⁠Mend Coffee⁠⁠: https://www.mendcoffee.com/Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/hopeheals/

In this powerful conversation, host Erin Kerry is joined by Gina Birkemeier, LPC—licensed professional counselor, international speaker, and award-winning author of Generations Deep. Gina is a leading voice on generational trauma, helping thousands understand how faith, neuroscience, biology, and epigenetics intersect to shape our emotional and spiritual health. Together, they explore how trauma can be passed down through both learned behavior and biological imprinting—and how God designed the brain and nervous system with the capacity to heal, rewire, and experience safety again. Key Topics: - What generational trauma actually is and how it shows up in everyday life - How epigenetics influences genetic expression and emotional patterns - Why God's nervous system design equips us to shift our default settings - The neuroscience behind being “wired for healing” - How to find safety in discomfort and build resilience - The generational impact of shame and how it fuels the fawn response - Why breaking patterns begins with awareness—not self-blame This episode offers both scientific grounding and Biblical hope, reminding you that what runs in your family doesn't have to run your life.

In this raw, unedited conversation, Stephen Young shares what it was like growing up around conflict, carrying emotional wounds in silence, and learning how to survive without ever being shown how to heal.We explore how childhood trauma doesn't disappear with time — it quietly shapes your identity, emotional reactions, self-worth, and relationships, often running your life beneath the surface without your awareness.This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns, struggles with emotional triggers they can't explain, or senses that unresolved childhood experiences are still influencing their present.

Sat Nam Sovereign Sister! If you feel like you don't know who you are, it's not because your Soul is missing. It's because your nervous system is running an inherited survival program that has distorted the field where your Soul expresses itself. In this episode, we break down false identity from generational trauma through two lenses: Kundalini Yoga Therapy (energy signal + electromagnetic field repair) and Jesus / A Course in Miracles (holiness as lived experience, not self-improvement).You'll learn why trauma doesn't only live in memories, it can create a rupture where intrusive patterns take over:The Gnostics called these distortions archons (ruling forces of fear, shame, confusion).Carl Jung described a similar reality as autonomous complexes—parts that can run your mind like a separate agenda.And here's the thing: if you treat this like a mindset problem, you'll keep blaming yourself.If you understand it as just a moment of nervous system dysregulation + inherited survival + a scrambled signal, you can actually repair it so inherited survival patterns stops getting passed down.Inside this episode, we cover:-Why identity confusion shows up as “I'm too much / not enough / I'm broken / I can't trust myself / I don't belong” from an energetic perspective -How trauma changes breath, heart rhythm, brain signaling, and your whole sense of self from the perspective of Carl Jung's, Gnosticism, Kundalin Yoga Therapy, Jesus in A Course in Miracles, and science -What “closing the gate” really means (without fear, without fighting energy)-Why devotion + meditation strengthens your inner sanctuary so you stop being recruitable by guilt-ACIM Lesson 109: “I rest in God.” (rest as identity restoration) as a way to close the gate If you're a first-time cycle breaker, your permission is this:You are not crazy. You are not weak. Your Soul is not broken.Your system can be retrained and your healing reaches seven generations before and after you.If this lands, drop a comment: What false identity has tried to rule your life?Like, subscribe, and share this with a sister who's been saying, “I don't feel like myself anymore.”✨ Join the Sovereign Sisterhood Sanctuary for first time generational cycle breakers (Kundalini Yoga Therapy + ACIM spiritual psychotherapy):

What if the patterns you keep repeating aren't flaws or bad habits, but survival strategies your body learned long ago?In this episode, I sit down with Riana Malia, a certified Neuro-Somatic practitioner whose work focuses on healing generational trauma through the unconscious mind, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care.Riana shares her powerful personal story of betrayal, loss, and the promise she made to her daughter, that the cycle of trauma would end with her. Together, we explore how the body holds experiences the mind can't always explain, and how unhealed childhood wounds can quietly shape our relationships, choices, and sense of self well into adulthood.We talk about why emotional regulation is the foundation of real change, how trauma responses often disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage, and how Riana used quantum healing to shift lifelong pain, without having to relive every traumatic moment.You'll learn:Why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, even when you “know better”How trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage What somatic tools actually look like in everyday life, especially when things feel overwhelmingThe difference between emotional awareness and true embodied healingWhy forgiveness is about reclaiming yourself, not excusing harm.What a practical, sustainable healing journey can look like after decades of stored trauma.How trauma-informed personal growth gives your nervous system a new story to followHow understanding your body creates emotional safety and resilienceIf you're carrying pain you can't quite name, or if healing has felt confusing or out of reach, this episode offers a gentler, more embodied way forward.Your body already knows the way. It just needs your attention, patience, and care.Much love,LaurieClick here to fill out my Podcast survey for 2026.Click here to learn about my NEW “Nervous System Regulation Starter Kit” Click here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoFree ResourcesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseWebsiteConnect with Riana Maliahttps://rianamalia.com/Click here to take Riana's E.L.I.

Ever notice how some patterns don't feel like yours… they feel inherited?The people-pleasing. The overachieving. The quiet pressure to be “good” at the expense of what you actually feel.I'm joined by John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, for an honest conversation about generational patterns (especially Asian ones), cultural conditioning, and the survival roles many of us learned to play. We unpack why self-abandonment is often praised as a virtue, how these patterns shape our relationships and self-worth, and what healing looks like without rejecting your culture or your past.If you've ever felt torn between honoring where you come from and loving who you're becoming, this episode reminds you: you don't have to choose one over the other. You get to be a pattern-breaker with compassion, clarity, and choice.Episode Resources

In this episode, Janice and guest Maria Cheung (somatic pleasure coach and clinical sexologist) talk about generational trauma and how patterns created in our parents' time—like conflict avoidance, self-criticism,  hyper-independence, etc—get passed down to us and our other relationships.They discuss how those patterns can be birthed by historical and cultural factors—like family separation, men being allowed to have multiple wives, and the one-child policy China—and how ongoing systems like capitalism and patriarchy continue to influence the ways we show up in our intimate relationships.And they share what has helped them gain more compassion for their parents—including in safe spaces in individual and group therapy—while gaining more awareness/accountability and compassion for themselves.This episode is full of personal stories about infidelity, challenging mom–daughter dynamics, repairing relationships and forgiveness, and the light-bulb moments and deep work that help to break the cycles of generational trauma.Bio: Maria Cheung (she/her) is a queer, polyamorous Chinese-Canadian, somatic pleasure coach, facilitator and speaker. She is a registered Somatic Sexologist (American Board Certified) and Tibetan Tantra practitioner, with over 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry, graduating from the only government accredited Authentic Tantra school in the world.

When dismissive language and rigid beliefs are normalized, religious and political bullying becomes acceptable, and it doesn't stop with adults. It bleeds into schools, families, and developing nervous systems. This is a mental health crisis, not a debate.The conversation explores how healing begins with responsibility. Practicing emotional regulation, living the Golden Rule, and modeling respect create the foundation for collective healing. Real change requires moving from reactive outrage to proactive care and taking mental and emotional health seriously at every level.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:02] Why school shutdowns expose how unsafe “normal” has become[02:08] How violence reflects a mental and emotional health crisis, not a single issue[03:12] What global events reveal about religion and ideology driving division[04:25] The danger of becoming numb to shootings and public grief[06:01] Why children's fear signals a societal breaking point[08:14] How lockdown drills shape a child's nervous system and sense of safety[10:47] Why moral certainty and righteousness are eroding empathy and respect[15:22] How personal responsibility becomes the only real starting point for change[19:08] Why hiding behind religion or politics blocks compassion instead of creating safety[23:41] How the Golden Rule offers a simple but demanding standard for behavior[27:56] Why teaching children respect and grace matters more than winning arguments[31:12] How being proactive about mental and emotional health changes the future[34:08] Why lasting change depends on choosing to model what society needs nextFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Last week on That Greenwich Life, we opened a conversation so many of us have been carrying quietly for years — the shame, confusion, and emotional exhaustion of family estrangement.And the messages that poured in made one thing unmistakably clear: you are not alone.So in this episode, we're continuing that conversation — and going deeper - because estrangement doesn't usually begin with one explosive moment, one argument, or one final breaking point. It often begins inside toxic family systems — patterns we were born into, roles we never chose, and cycles that stretch back farther than any of us realize.In this episode, we explore generational trauma, and to help us unpack all of this, I'm joined by Eve Kerwin, also known as The White Buffalo Woman — a shamanic healer I found in the middle of one of the darkest seasons of my life. In a single session, she helped me make sense of my past, offered clarity around profound loss, and gently opened my eyes to what might still be possible in my future (which she SO ACCURATELY PREDICTED!) — when hope felt completely out of reach.Eve Kerwin has worked with clients around the world for decades, guiding them through grief, trauma, ancestral patterns, and spiritual awakening. Drawing from intuitive healing, soul work, and Akashic wisdom, Eve offers a deeply compassionate lens on why we experience the relationships and challenges we do — and how healing can ripple far beyond one lifetime.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Season 2 Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Jack Rabbits Gymnastics and Soccer Club — a beloved children's movement and enrichment space helping kids build confidence, coordination, and joy through play • Room for Paws Pet Resort — a trusted, full-service pet resort providing exceptional care and peace of mind for families and their furry family membersLet's Connect!If this episode inspired you, please follow, rate, and review That Greenwich Life so more women can find these conversations.

When the focus is always on finding a root cause, it keeps you looking for the next answer and the next answer and the next answer to your food issues. This can keep you stuck in a survival response. This constant searching sends signals of danger to the body that something is wrong, and it has to keep the sympathetic nervous system turned on (where food behaviors intensify).What if there is no root cause to your binge eating or emotional eating or body image concerns or chronic dieting or restricting? What if this is a natural impulse when you don't feel safe? What if this all made A LOT of sense and there is nothing to fix or change or heal, but rather to explore how you could respond to a food or body impulse differently?In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Shannon Salge, founder of The Wellness Paradigm, Functional Nutritionist and Bioresonance Practitioner about: Understanding bioresonanceThe role of generational trauma and energy in healing Exploring emotional connections to symptoms Understanding the body's communication Identifying when you need to stop looking for the next treatment to "fix" yourself Daily practices to regulate You can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/unraveling-the-hidden-energetic-effects-of-generational-traumaHope you enjoy this week's episode and see you all next week! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Shannon:Website: https://www.thewellnessparadigm.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shannon.salge/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannon.salge/Free Facebook Group: https://bit.ly/TWP_Free_Group Support the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

We trace a family conflict back to its root wound and show how acceptance, not approval-seeking, rewires the nervous system for safety and love. A raw story becomes a step-by-step path: grieve, de-idolize, set boundaries, rest, and receive.• trauma as emotional wound and how it's passed on• silent treatment as control and its imprint on the nervous system• taking the cape off parents to find compassion• speaking up without seeking approval• acceptance overcomes fear of rejection• rest as a practice to regulate and receive• moving relationships from codependency to clarity• practical self-regulation mantras and boundaries• healing as a personal responsibility that changes lineageWe have like four spots left for our retreat in May.

Ever feel like you're fighting battles that aren't truly yours? You probably are. Emunah Love just explained in Get Yourself Optimized that most of us carry cellular imprints from ancestors, past lives, and childhood trauma that create invisible ceilings—and we don't even know they're there. Traditional therapy helps you manage these patterns. Emunah clears them at the root. Her journey started with profound trauma. Father was killed by the police at age 8. Emotionally unavailable mother. A world that felt fundamentally unsafe. But she had this unwavering faith that kept her searching for "more." During a trip to Israel, she met a stranger named Emunah (Hebrew for "faith"). Her body lit up like firecrackers. She instantly knew: That's my real name. That's who I am. Fast forward 30 years of healing work, and she's now channeling high-vibration beings to help leaders transmute energetic blocks in single sessions. Her clients report shifts that years of traditional approaches couldn't touch. She intentionally creates outcomes BEFORE they happen. Before traveling, she visualizes smooth flights, amazing conversations, and perfect timing. Before seeing family, she surrounds everyone in love and sees a joyful connection. Then she shows up fully present to experience what her intention created. It works. Every. Single. Time. If you're ready to see what's been running in the background and finally break free, this episode is essential. Listen now!

As 2025 comes to a close, we're revisiting interviews with this year's nominees and winners of some of the biggest prizes in literature. Tessa Hulls' grandmother, Sun Yi, was a dissident journalist in Shanghai who faced intense political persecution during the Chinese Communist Revolution. In today's episode, Hulls tells Here & Now's Scott Tong that her grandmother's trauma often cast a shadow over their family – one she decided to finally face in her new graphic memoir, Feeding Ghosts. It's a reexamining of Hulls' matriarchal lineage, of Chinese history and of generational love and healing.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

What if the anxiety, burnout, inflammation, or exhaustion you carry didn't begin with you?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz explores the emerging science behind generational trauma and how stress, fear, and survival patterns can be passed down biologically through mitochondrial DNA, the nervous system, and hormonal pathways. She explains why some people struggle with symptoms that don't resolve despite doing everything right, and how ancestral trauma may be quietly shaping inflammation, cortisol levels, emotional regulation, and energy production across generations.You will learn how trauma can alter mitochondrial function, disrupt the HPA axis, and create inherited patterns of hypervigilance, anxiety, burnout, and chronic disease. Dr. Taz introduces her five body map framework, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and community, to help you understand where inherited trauma may be showing up and how healing becomes possible when all layers are addressed.Dr. Taz shares: • How trauma can be transmitted biologically through mitochondrial DNA passed down the maternal line • Why chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and cortisol dysregulation often appear in families with histories of displacement, silence, or survival stress • The signs of inherited nervous system patterns, including hypervigilance, fear based thinking, emotional suppression, and burnout that starts early • How ancestral trauma affects hormones, energy production, mental health, and emotional regulation • Why family secrets, shame, and silence can destabilize the entire family ecosystem and show up as disease • The five body map approach to screening generational trauma across physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and community layers • Practical ways to begin healing, including nervous system regulation, storytelling, somatic release, mitochondrial support, and restoring safe connection within familiesWhether you are dealing with unexplained symptoms, chronic stress, emotional patterns that seem bigger than your life experience, or simply want to understand your family's health history more deeply, this episode offers a new lens on healing. You may inherit biology, but you can change how it is expressed and what gets passed forward.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek) (00:00) - Hi everyone, it's Dr. Taz. Before we get into today's episode, I just wanna pause and say thank you. Your messages, your shares, your stories are, the reason we make Whole Plus every conversation here is about connecting the science, the intuition, and everyday life together so you can feel more like yourself. (00:00) - if you haven't already hit that subscribe or follow button, it helps us reach more people who need this. All right, let's begin. What if the pain you [00:00:30] carry didn't start with you? Science now shows that trauma can be passed through generations, not just through stories or behaviors, but through biological changes in the body itself. (00:00) - this episode, we're exploring the connection between ancestral trauma and mitochondrial DNA and how your body might still be echoing the stress, the fear, or the survival patterns of your lineage. The gift of being in practice for over 16 years and seeing, I don't know how [00:01:00] many patients, I think collectively as, uh, a series of whole plus clinics were at 60, 70,000. (00:00) - the gift of seeing a patient day in and day out and following them through their journey. Allows us as providers a lot of time to think, observe, learn, and listen. And one of the things that has always confused me until recently is why some people have symptoms or have issues without any explanation.[00:01:30] (00:00) - done all the right things. They're following the diet, they're exercising, they are doing all the things they're supposed to do. They've got those wellness routines down, red, light, blue, light, you name it, they're doing it, but they're still not well. And while I could have a conversation with all of you about chemistry and biology and physiology, here's what maturity and time has taught me. (00:00) - healing and being well doesn't exist on [00:02:00] one plane. It's not just about the numbers and the data. It's actually a whole lot more, so much more that it may even be linked to your generational trauma. Now, bear with me for a second. Please don't roll your eyes and change the channel or flip the screen. (00:00) - is important information and we are just beginning to understand what all of this means and how it's all connected. I've had many opportunities to observe [00:02:30] this. Some of them begin right in our home. I have watched as the women in our family have a very similar look in their eye demeanor way of talking tone. (00:00) - name it. Some of it we could explain away. My mom was an immigrant, came here at a very young age, 17, 18, 19 years old, had an arranged marriage. She had, I thought, the insecurity of being an immigrant, of being somebody in a new [00:03:00] country without a community. And I always explained away her inability or fear. (00:00) - of in terms of taking action or taking next steps as a part of that story, the immigrant story, right? I, I can't imagine what so many immigrants go through to get here and then to build a life in a family of their own, leaving behind mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, huge families. So I explained her story away that way. (00:00) - then there [00:03:30] was me and I grew up, as I've shared sometimes in a slightly chaotic, dysfunctional childhood home, and I don't wanna get into all of those details, but I had that same glimmer of fear and insecurity that I saw in my mom. But let's fast forward to my daughter all these years later, growing up in a pampered home with a father that dotes on her. (00:00) - we doted on her even a bit too much, but regardless, had all the comforts and the [00:04:00] security that anybody externally could provide. But guess what? The same glimmer, that same sparkle, that same sort of tone. Something, I can't describe it, where there's fear...
