Breaking cycles and intergenerational trauma ft. Dr Mariel Buqué

Healing Honeys (formerly OPENHOUSE with Louise Rumball)

#141 - WTF does breaking cycles actually mean? Today, we tell you. Are you the chosen one who is breaking your family’s cycle by ‘doing the work’ Are you ready to shed intergenerational trauma, break your ‘destined patterning’ and step into a legacy of abundance and peace instead? Do you feel like the ‘black sheep’ in your family who is out there doing the work alone? Or maybe you’re clear on your cycles but you need more help on this journey because things can get hard and heavy.

If yes, this episode is for you. This week, join Louise Rumball & Dr. Mariel Buqué, PhD, a Columbia University–trained trauma-informed psychologist and practitioner of holistic healing as today they discuss all things intergenerational trauma and CYCLE breaking. 

The pair dive into: 

  • What intergenerational trauma *actually* is
  • How trauma can be transferred across generations through biology and psychology
  • The power our environment has on our gene expression and how we are not *destined* to live with our genes
  • The importance of ‘grounding’ and ‘identifying and excavating’ past wounds before being able to move forward
  • The importance of finding the right practitioner to avoid re-traumatization

The pair also discuss some of the most common generational cycles that Dr. Mariel sees in practice - ranging from patriarchal structures, family communication styles, socioeconomic backgrounds to ‘depression running in the family’, autoimmune disorders substance abuse and more as well as:

  • The starting points for breaking generational cycles
  • How you can cycle break without 1-1 therapy; and
  • Dr. Mariel’s new book that can help you do exactly that.
