Break the Cycle

Discover the profound journey of healing and transformation in Break the Cycle by Dr Mariel Buqué—a definitive, paradigm-shifting guide to understanding and healing intergenerational trauma. This pioneering work by an expert trauma psychologist, professor, and holistic practitioner empowers readers to disrupt harmful patterns from the past and cultivate new cycles of love and strength. Dr Mariel Buqué masterfully blends science, therapy, and personal anecdotes to provide a comprehensive approach to trauma recovery that is both deeply insightful and practical.

When a physical wound is left unhealed, it can cause persistent pain and eventually infect the entire body. Similarly, when emotional wounds are left untreated, they cause harm that radiates into multiple facets of our lives, affecting family, friends, and co-workers. Over time, this hurt can spread even further, impacting entire communities and perpetuating cycles of trauma across generations.

This phenomenon is known as intergenerational trauma. Such trauma can manifest in various ways, including people-pleasing behaviours, co-dependency in relationships, and estrangement from family members. These wounds are intricate and continue to invade our minds, bodies, and spirits long after the initial trauma, making recovery challenging yet vitally important.

In Break the Cycle, Dr Buqué offers a ground-breaking guide to healing inherited trauma. Through a seamless integration of scientific research, practical exercises, and evocative stories from her therapy practice, Dr Buqué provides readers with the tools to understand how trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next. She introduces therapeutic exercises designed to break the cycle of trauma, helping individuals cultivate practices that will disrupt the pervasive flow of intergenerational pain.

With an emphasis on holistic healing—a perspective that has been largely absent in traditional psychology—Break the Cycle aims to shift the narrative from intergenerational trauma to intergenerational abundance. Dr Buqué's approach offers a transformative path that not only aids in personal recovery but also ensures that strength and resilience are passed on to future generations, rather than enduring pain.

Renowned author Vex King, known for his bestseller Good Vibes, Good Life, praises the book: "Blending science, therapy and personal anecdotes, Break the Cycle empowers readers to disrupt harmful patterns from the past and cultivate new cycles of love and strength."

For anyone who has ever felt the lingering effects of emotional wounds or wishes to prevent the perpetuation of such trauma within their own family, Break the Cycle is an essential read. Dr Mariel Buqué’s insightful wisdom and practical guidance provide a roadmap for emotional freedom and the nurturing of a more resilient, interconnected future.
