The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast Healing Generational Trauma with Gina Birkemeier (S12E7)
In this episode, I discuss generational trauma with Gina Birkemeier, a licensed counselor and author of Generations Deep. We explore her journey from adoption to becoming a therapist and the insights she gained about inherited emotional dysfunction.
Gina teaches us to cultivate resilience, highlighting the interplay between neuroscience and spiritual beliefs. We also talk about the importance of seeking mental health support and building a strong community for healing. Listeners will discover practical tools from Gina's workbook that aid in breaking free from inherited dysfunction, empowering them to reclaim their narratives and initiate positive change in their lives and families.
