Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma with Dr. Mariel Buque

Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

What if I told you that your ancestors' traumas could be actively influencing your life today? What if the pain they endured, generations ago, could still shape your relationships, behaviors, and even your DNA? It's a thought-provoking concept, isn't it? Welcome to the world of intergenerational trauma.

In this Language of Love Conversation, I am excited to be joined by Dr. Mariel Buque, a Columbia-trained mystic psychologist, professor, sound bath meditation healer, and intergenerational trauma expert. Dr. Mariel brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion, which centers around her new book, “Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma.” Together, we dive deep into the heart of what it means to carry emotional burdens from our past and how we can liberate ourselves and our future generations from these invisible chains.

Here's a glimpse of what we discuss:

• The impact of healing from intergenerational trauma on family dynamics and relationships
• The energetic perspective and the impact of past family members on our lives
• How to handle family members who resist or deny their trauma
• The concept of “parenting back, parenting forward” and intergenerational re-parenting
• Seven key areas for fostering growth and healing from intergenerational trauma
• The potential consequences of anxious-attachment parenting
• How to impart legacies to future generations and learn to apologize to our kids

Remember to check out Dr. Mariel’s book, Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, for more tools, techniques, suggestions, and guidance on intergenerational trauma.
