Ever catch yourself mid-sentence and think “I sound exactly like my parents”? Or perhaps you’re aware of “family curses” those patterns of behaviour, addiction, or silence that everyone knows about but no one talks about.
Research shows that intergenerational trauma can shape a family for up to seven generations, influencing everything from our behaviours to our very DNA! Our ancestors’ experiences don't just stay in the past.
But trauma isn’t your only inheritance.
Our ancestors went through the "hard stuff" wars, migrations, and deep losses and they passed down an intergenerational resiliency that is just as much a part of you as their wounds. Jen’s work focuses on honoring that grit while releasing the burdens that no longer serve you.
Jen is excited to announce that she has completed the Break the Cycle: Intergenerational Trauma Therapy training with Dr. Mariel Buqué, the renowned author of Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma.
This training adds a powerful new lens to Jen’s counselling practice. It goes beyond traditional talk therapy to look at the "roots" of the family tree, helping you understand how attachment styles and past traumas are shaping your present-day life.
Insight is the first step, but action is what creates a new legacy. Jen focuses on providing practical strategies to help you move from "knowing" to "doing." By healing your own nervous system and shifting your relational patterns, you aren't just changing your life you are changing the future of your entire family line!
"Healing is an act of legacy-building." Dr. Mariel Buqué
