Intergenerational Healing: Parenting after Trauma with Selma Bacevac
Understanding our personal and collective histories gives us so much insight into identifying the parts of us that may need healing the most. Selma Bacevac, psychotherapist, author, mother of two, and founder of @balkanmamatherapy, shares her considerable knowledge of intergenerational trauma, her first-hand experience in cycle-breaking, and her passion to empower Balkan parents to lead with compassion while raising their children. In an episode that deeply resonates with Adriana and Amanda, Selma discusses the importance of self-reflection while establishing boundaries with those closest to us, remaining as gentle with ourselves as we strive to be with our children, and processing our feelings through our bodies versus our minds - (and reassures us that "good enough" parenting truly IS good enough!) Amongst many other pieces of wisdom Selma leaves Coffee and Cosleeping listeners with, she also offers so many parents the opportunity to heal within a safe and brave community. This is an episode that’s worth listening to every minute of. .
