Course Introduction: Breaking the Chains
Welcome to Breaking the Chains: Understanding Generational Trauma and Its Effects Today! This six-week course is designed to provide you with the tools, knowledge, and support you need to explore how inherited trauma shapes our lives and how we can actively heal and transform those patterns.
Generational trauma often manifests in our thoughts, behaviors, and even physical health without us realizing it. Throughout this course, we will delve into the science of epigenetics, uncover the emotional and behavioral patterns rooted in trauma, and learn powerful tools for healing. With a combination of interactive workshops, guided meditations, and personal reflections, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your family history while developing actionable steps to create a new narrative for yourself and future generations.
This course is not just about learning—it’s about transformation. By the end of these six weeks, you will:
Understand the origins and impacts of generational trauma.
Gain clarity on how trauma shows up in your life and relationships.
Learn and practice tools to release limiting beliefs and cultivate empowerment.
Build a road map for continued growth and healing.
Whether you’re just beginning your journey or looking to deepen your understanding, this class is for you. Let’s break the chains together and create a legacy of healing and strength.
