Let Your Tears Flow: Transforming the Transgenerational Trauma of Your Family Tree

Let Your Tears Flow provides hope for anyone frustrated with a lack of answers for their symptoms, conditions and repetitive life challenges. Do you experience unexplainable fears; ungrounded feelings of grief, anger or shame; addictions; relationship challenges; anxiety or depression; burnout or chronic health conditions? These are some of the ways that descendants carry transgenerational trauma for their parents, grandparents and ancestors. If you repeatedly explore different medical treatments, therapies or alternative healing techniques, yet remain stuck in life in some way; there is a strong likelihood that you are entangled with someone or something in your family system that is emotionally unresolved. My family system had plenty of transgenerational trauma to address and yours might too. War, immigration, displacement, family tragedy, birth trauma, adoption, exclusion or religious persecution are some transgenerational trauma experiences that transmit from generation to generation. If you know little about your ancestors, then the transgenerational trauma has likely been silenced. Silence is a profound carrier of transgenerational trauma, with family secrets or traumatizing experiences taking on lives of their own. This trauma lives on in the unconscious body of family members waiting to be addressed, becoming more powerful with each generation of silence. This book is a compilation of blog entries (aka small essays) on topics of transgenerational trauma and systemic healing. It engages with the insight that is found through systemic and family constellations, emphasizing the need for energetic body focused systemic healing approaches. It is the second in a series of books that will be made available shortly on numerous systemic healing topics. Let Your Tears Flow reflects on ways to recognize transgenerational trauma and body focused ways to address it, so that it doesn’t have to pass down to your children and grandchildren.
