Trauma sounds big and scary. The truth is less overwhelming, and far more ordinary that we might think. Getting to grips with our own trauma - however big or small - is at the heart of understanding ourselves and our relationships.

This way the cycle of intergenerational trauma can be broken. Dr. Mariel Buqué is a Columbia University-trained psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert and author of the new book ‘Break The Cycle’. Dr Buqué will soothe your soul in this conversation, explaining how we can identify our trauma, how to practice self compassion and ultimately grow. Timecodes01:35 What is Trauma?03:01 Both Big and Small Traumas07:55 Early Intervention and Trauma Destigmatization12:43 Trauma Triggers and Coping Strategies14:33 Trauma and Physical Health Manifestations18:54 Holistic Approach to Trauma27:00 Understanding and Breaking the Trauma Cycle31:42 Trauma Processing and Body Regulation38:18 Trauma's Impact on Relationships44:47 Self-Compassion and Healthy Relationships48:42 Cultivating Self-Compassion for Healthy Relationships55:24 Self-Compassion and Boundary Development01:04:10 What does Live Well Be Well mean to you?01:06:00 drmarielbuque.comLinks:Dr Mariel Buqué’s new book ‘Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma’ | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Break-Cycle-Healing-Intergenerational-Trauma/dp/1785044281/Subscribe to Dr Mariel Buqué’s YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.MarielBuqueFollow Dr Mariel Buqué on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.marielbuque/******Thanks to my wonderful sponsors!The Better Menopause | thebettermenopause.comThe secret to a better menopause lies in your gutUse code BEWELL for 25% !!***London Nootropics | Londonnootropics.comFind your flow with adaptogenic coffeeUse code LIVEWELLBEWELL for 20% off***Sensate | getsensate.com Achieve relaxation and peace anytime, anywhereUse the code SARAHANN for 10% off******Watch this episode on YouTubeFollow me, Sarah Ann Macklin on InstagramTo give your wellbeing journey that extra boost, try my 30 day ‘Reset My Health’ courseAnd sign up to my newsletter hereJoin my inner circle here!
