What Is Intergenerational Trauma?
Intergenerational trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, and sometimes even physical wounds that are passed down from one generation to the next. These patterns don’t start with us—yet they often shape how we cope, how we communicate, and how we show up in our relationships and families.

How Is It Passed Down?
Trauma can be transmitted through:
• Learned behaviors and coping styles
• Family beliefs and narratives about emotions, safety, and identity
• Unresolved grief, stress, and survival patterns that children absorb
• Biological stress responses that can impact future generations

We may carry pieces of our ancestors’ experiences without even realizing it.

Are You Interested in Learning How to Break the Cycle?
I’m exploring interest in a 4-week virtual workshop where we will:
• Understand intergenerational trauma
• Explore its impact on our lives and relationships
• Learn practical, healing-focused strategies
• Use the book Break the Cycle by Dr. Mariel Buqué as our guide

If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, drop a “💚” in the comments or send me a message!

Healing is possible—and it can start with us.

Have you heard the term intergenerational trauma?

Many of us carry emotional wounds passed down through our families—sometimes without even realizing it. These patterns can shape how we cope, how we love, and how we show up for ourselves and others.

I’m curious — do you know what intergenerational trauma is?

4 Ways to Deal with Anger

Anger is a normal emotion — it’s how we respond that makes the difference. Here are four mindful ways to manage anger before it manages you:

1. Take Slow Breaths
When anger rises, our breath shortens and our body tenses. Slow, deep breathing helps regulate your nervous system and gives your mind a moment to reset.

2. Go for a Walk
Physical movement helps release built-up energy and gives you space to process what you’re feeling. A short walk can shift your perspective and bring clarity.

3. Pause and Reflect
Before reacting, take a moment to ask yourself: What am I really feeling? Often, anger covers deeper emotions like hurt or fear. Reflection creates insight and emotional growth.

4. Use “I Feel” Statements
Instead of blaming or accusing, express your emotions clearly: “I feel upset when…” This helps others understand your experience and invites healthy communication.

Remember: Anger isn’t the enemy — it’s a messenger. When we slow down and listen, it can teach us what needs healing, boundaries, or change.

Save this post for when emotions run high — and share it with someone who might need the reminder. You’re not alone in learning how to manage anger with compassion.

In just two weeks, a new chapter begins for our family — my husband will be officially retiring, and after thoughtful reflection, I’ve decided to step back from full-time work. I’ll be focusing more intentionally on my private practice and creative projects that have long been on my heart.

While I deeply value the work I do and the incredible people I serve, this shift allows me to create more space for both family and self-care.

With this transition, I’m excited to announce that I will be accepting new clients starting June 30th.

Here’s to new seasons, balance, and continued growth.

Are you a Mental Health Clinician and a Woman of Color in Private Practice?

Whether you’re full-time or part-time in private practice, we know how important it is to have a supportive community — especially one that gets your lived experience.

A fellow clinician of color and I are exploring interest in a free monthly virtual peer supervision + support group created specifically for women of color mental health professionals. This will be a space to share case insights, receive guidance, and feel supported in your work — without judgment.

We’re planning to launch in September and are currently gauging interest.

If this speaks to you, please comment “YES” below and send me a DM with your email address so we can follow up with more details.

Let’s support each other in doing this powerful work.

Calling all women of color in social work!

Our goal is to create a space where we can share insights, seek guidance, and support one another in navigating the challenges and victories of our work.

We’re hoping to launch this in September, and we’d love to know if you’d be interested in joining us.
