139: The Black Sheep's Journey: Understanding Generational Trauma with Nick Werber

This week on the podcast, Gervase introduces us to her mentor Nick Werber from the Focalizing Institute, as they discuss generational trauma patterns and how they can shape our childhood, adulthood, and even influence parenting practices. Nick shares specifically how family dynamics create outsider roles like the scapegoat and black sheep of the family and why we need these nonconformists. Listen in as Gervase and Nick share their personal experiences with these outsider roles, and how they and others who have been handed these (at times) trauma-fueled titles can utilize the practice of Focalizing to begin move the needle forward, redefine themselves from an internal place without needing external validation, and even make cycle-breaking a bit easier for the next generation.    Connect with Nick: Nick Werber - nicknwerber.comNick Werber | Integrative Coach (@nickwerber_) • Instagram Join Nick's 'Other' workshop series   Save 10% on coaching packages til June 6th: Check it out here: https://www.gervasekolmos.com/phoenix-coaching   Connect with Gervase on Instagram: www.instagram.com/gervasekolmos Get my weekly emails: https://www.gervasekolmos.com/free-framework *If you'd like to invite Gervase into your company to facilitate coaching or conversation to shift company culture, please email us at hi@gervasekolmos.com   Resources: G | Integrative Coach (@gervasekolmos) • Instagram photos and videos
