See moreAn empowering guide to breaking free from ancestral trauma and learning to heal - from two acclaimed experts in the field.
Trauma can cause our parts to take on burdens. Yet, when we bring the spiritual values of curiosity, gratitude, and kindness to these burdened parts, we discover incredible opportunities for healing and awakening.
A radical approach to collective healing, restoring wholeness and reclaiming your true self.
When we focus only on our own trauma, we cannot see how other types of trauma - ancestral, cultural, social, and spiritual - contribute to our present pain and suffering. But when we step back to consider how different parts of our identities are connected, we have a much more complete and coherent picture of our pain. And with awareness comes healing.
In this powerful collaboration, Richard Schwartz - creator of Internal Family Systems - and fellow trauma expert Thomas Hübl expand the map of healing. Through practical exercises such as meditation and reflections, this book will help you release the beliefs and emotions that are burdening you. Using an integrative approach, the authors will not only help you understand the roots of your trauma, but offer you the practical tools to end the cycle of harm for good.
