Trauma Healing: Cycle-Breaking and Resilience-Building with Dr. Mariel Buqué PhD

Original Air Date Wednesday, March 27, 2024.

What some people consider small stressors can trigger and overwhelm those whose biological and psychological makeup is foundationally built upon intergenerational traumas. Those with intergenerational traumas can be predisposed to heightened emotions that may not be widely understood by their societal circles. If you have witnessed someone’s reaction to a circumstance that didn’t appear to warrant it, it could be based on the person’s unique heritage and ancestry without them being aware of the factors at play.

To discover ways to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma and begin the healing process, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with Columbia University-trained Psychologist and intergenerational trauma expert, Dr. Mariel Buqué.

From her book, Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, Dr. Buqué shares her holistic healing approach, accessible healing tools, and how to access intergenerational resilience.
