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. It passes down from generation to generation, often invisibly, like a passing genetic disease. How to interrupt this flow? Identify it, embrace it and don’t brush it away. 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.
