Episode notes

This chapter delves into the concept of intergenerational trauma and how trauma symptoms can be passed down from parents to their children. It examines the blend of psychology and physiology involved in inherited trauma, emphasizing the role of genes, cellular memory, and the nervous system. The chapter also highlights the manifestation of trauma in our health and physiology, including the physiological effects of chronic stress and the link between trauma and stress-related diseases.

Have you noticed patterns in your life traced back generations? My guest Dr. Mariel Buqué shares how trauma gets embedded in our biology and psychology, passed down through families.

In her new book Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, this psychologist provides clinically proven techniques to regulate our nervous systems, restore secure attachment, process grief, and break free from harmful intergenerational patterns. Her message transcends genetics - it’s a call to become cycle breakers who chart a new course for our families. I even had my own cycle-breaking revelation during our poignant conversation.
