#56 - Intergenerational Healing With My Mother
In today’s episode:* I share my excitement about traveling to Helsinki for nine days, where I plan to collaborate closely with my co-founder and enjoy time with friends. This visit to Finland, a place I hold dear, promises a mix of work and leisure, allowing me to recharge and gain new perspectives.* I reflect on a profound encounter I had with my mother after a psycho-trauma workshop. This experience opened up deep discussions about intergenerational trauma, revealing the emotional legacies that are often carried unwittingly from one generation to the next. By examining these patterns, I've begun understanding how they shape our lives and the importance of addressing them to foster healing.* I explore the emotional dialogue and reconciliation process with my mother, discussing how honoring her and acknowledging the sacrifices made by previous generations can lead to healing and understanding. This process has been instrumental in transforming our relationship and offers a pathway to mend past grievances while deepening our familial bonds.Resources:* Can trauma be inherited through genes?* Epigenetic and transgenerational reprogramming of brain development* Models of Intergenerational and Transgenerational Transmission of Risk for Psychopathology in Mice* Intergenerational transmission of paternal trauma among US Civil War ex-POWs* Join the my lumii early-access* Emotional Wisdom PodcastFeedback, questions, or wanna simply say hi?
