192. What Makes A Cycle Breaker? with Dr Mariel Buqué

What makes a cycle breaker? In this episode, we are privileged to sit down and have a profound conversation with Dr. Mariel Buqué, a remarkable leader in the field of trauma. Dr. Mariel holds a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from Columbia University and is now a distinguished Trauma Psychologist. She's the author of Break The Cycle: A Guide To Healing Intergenerational Trauma, a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and heal from the impact of intergenerational trauma.In this episode Dr Mariel shares her own story of generational trauma and her path to healing. What truly stands out in our conversation is the revelation that when Dr. Mariel was pursuing her degree, the clinical model all psychologists were trained under was not based on trauma. Students, including Dr. Mariel, were consistently sharing stories of trauma repeating across generations, but the term "intergenerational trauma" was never used throughout her years of study, and this was less than a decade ago. This fact highlights how recent the concept of intergenerational trauma is. We are among the first generations with the tools to comprehend how generational trauma is perpetuated, how we can address it, and what it means for our descendants. We are at a unique juncture in history, with a golden opportunity to break these cycles for our families – an honor and privilege we can't take lightly. Dr. Mariel shares invaluable insights in this episode, and we invite you to join us in exploring her story and expertise.
