Breaking free from the past

One of the hardest parts about committing to healing our trauma is seeing when it’s already impacting our children and dreading that it may be too late to help them.

What does that mean exactly?

I'll tell you:

You work so hard to set the foundation for a good future for your children. You’ve made sure they start reading early, go to a good school, get involved in sports or social groups, graduate with a high GPA, go to a good college, get a good job, etc., etc.

We want to give them all the tools so they succeed when they get older. We think if we prepare them, then they are guaranteed a better future and the issues of the past (either our past or our family’s struggles) won’t follow them into adulthood.

Then we are shocked when we start seeing the same old patterns in them. Patterns that we’ve been working so hard to protect them from, they start to show up … again.



I'm talking more about how to tell if generational trauma is affecting your kids in my new Masterclass.

I'll tell you what's going on.

It's not your fault. You've been following a list of "fixes" that most likely aren't working.

How do I know? I’ve been there before. Let me tell you about the time when my client, Sara, realized the power of healing family patterns.

Her awareness started when she saw her daughter repeating the pattern of having a controlling partner when she started dating. What was most distressing to Sara was that she knew her daughter had learned the pattern from her!

Sara grew up with a father who treated her “like a princess,” always making her feel special. Growing up, she had found it hard seeing how her father treated her mother so differently.

Sara said, “Dad would come home angry, never appreciate her work around the house, and was very jealous of any friends she had. I always wondered, how could he treat Mom with so much disdain and disrespect, when he was so loving with me and treated me with so much care.”

She thought she would never marry someone who treated her the same way, that it would never happen to her … until it did.

About 5 years into her marriage, Sara realized that she was repeating the same patterns she saw her mother struggle with as she was growing up. Sara committed to working on herself and her marriage.

She read the books, went to therapy, and started to practice conscious parenting. She did healing on herself.

Then she saw her daughter start to repeat the SAME pattern when she began dating.

What had she done wrong? Did she need more therapy? Maybe she had not started conscious parenting early enough.

Sara worried that it was too late and that her daughter was destined to experience the same pattern in relationships.

Even though therapy and conscious parenting are great strategies, they alone are not enough.

The solution was to focus on generational healing! She had to go from thinking changing her behavior alone would change the energetic legacy that she had inherited from her parents and that she passed on to her daughter.

Instead, she needed to work on changing the energetic pattern affecting all generations of her family.

If you’re on the edge of your seat, ready to learn more, I’m excited with you.
