Do you experience anxiety with no clear cause? It could be inherited trauma affecting your emotional responses. Modern research suggests the trauma our ancestors experienced doesn’t affect them alone — some studies indicate that trauma can be passed down to future generations through genetics. With each new study, we are learning more about human genetics, the power of our environment, and the effects of trauma. Intergenerational trauma is the theory that trauma can be inherited because there are genetic changes in a person’s DNA. The changes from trauma do not damage the gene (genetic change), instead, they alter how the gene functions (epigenetic change). For example, although post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is usually linked with personally experiencing trauma, some twin studies have estimated that the heritability of PTSD is between 30% and 70%. This suggests that some aspects of trauma may be inherited. EmRes® helps resolve these emotional patterns, without revisiting past traumas. It taps into your body’s natural ability to heal inherited trauma, giving you the power to break the cycle for future generations. https://lnkd.in/gnHuRcVp

https://lnkd.in/gbMDDxzm A Deep Dive reaction to the writings of author, trauma psychologist, and mentor Ernie Vecchio. This article advocates for a holistic approach to mental health that incorporates spiritual practices. It draws on Lisa Miller's "Spiritual Brain" theory, which posits that spirituality plays a crucial role in mental resilience, and Intentional Evolution, which suggests that individuals are inherently spiritual beings. The authors argue that mental health treatments should address both psychological symptoms and spiritual disconnection, proposing practices like mindfulness, meditation, and nature engagement to reconnect individuals with their spiritual core. This integrated approach aims to cultivate both psychological well-being and a deeper sense of spiritual connection. https://lnkd.in/guY4YP-k #psychology, #psychotherapy, #counseling, #psychospiritual, #transpersonal, #MusicOfLife, #HumaneUniverse, #HeartCentered, #SpiritualJourney, #EgoToHeart, #LifeTransformation, #CompassionateLiving, #SpiritualAwakening, #MindfulMoments, #InnerHarmony, #SoulfulSounds, #AweAndWonder, #LivingAuthentically, #EmbraceTheMystery

Check out my latest Psychology Today contribution related to Hermeneutic Labor. I highlight Dr. Ellie Anderson's work related to how women in heterosexual relationships are often tasked with the work of interpreting their own and their partner's feelings, which can leave them feeling drained. #women #relationships #emotionallabor #hermeneuticlabor #psychologytoday #coaching #psychology https://lnkd.in/euYYbwYW

Evolution requires the dissolving of paradigms that no longer serve, the dying of the old viewpoint, and in the process the creation of the new. Birthing anything can be easy, and it can be hard. It is very determined by the mindset and paradigm with which one enters the space. Money, number of practitioners, number of beds, these things matter not when you don't have the right paradigm to address the core issues. I was once asked by a Defence advisory committee into dealing with Post Traumatic Stress in the veterans my thoughts on putting toward support groups of suffers, so they could talk to each other. My response was pointed. This is a very bad idea as it creates a space to lament, not heal. My advice was to create groups with veterans who have been through the experience and come out the other side better for the experience. This, then creates a culture of leading the way through healing. I'll let you guess which option they went for. The first option is easy to do; the second much harder, however the results will be dramatically different and longer lasting. Let's create a new paradigm of Evolution, not Trauma.

With many people still navigating the impacts of last week's election, I wanted to pivot to support with this week's podcast. Today, we dropped a special edition episode on post-election self-care; specifically looking at managing fear, anxiety and catastrophizing post election. While we know there will likely be significant impacts to many communities as a result of the election, we also know that taking care of ourselves so we can care for and support others is more important than ever. You can listen in here - https://lnkd.in/g4Ssby7V #Podcast #TraumaInformedWorkplaces #TraumaInformed

Looking forward to contributing to today's Nuturing the Fields of Change session and to offering a taste of restorative practice as a way of overcoming polarisation and conflict. Restorative practice focuses on the repair of the relationship(s) vs primarily focusing on finding a solution. #polarisation #conflict #relationships #communityofpractice #changemakers #innerdevelopmentgoals #relationshipcrisis

When I talk about Ubuntu in business, it is NOT from the place of deep cultural grounding and experience like for Shayla Sima Dube. Ubuntu is the spiritual, ontological, epistemological water in which she swims. As a white woman from the U.S., I point to Ubuntu philosophy as a way to illuminate what is missing from the water in which I grew up. My worldview was shaped by the concepts (dare I say, myths) of individualism, meritocracy, survival of the fittest, and competition. If we want an experience of work and how we lead to be one of unleashing human potential and not extractive dehumanization, we need different lenses, different models, different ways of understanding. Ubuntu makes way for individual contribution that uplifts the whole. Ubuntu is easy to relate to because it taps into what everyone wants: Strong, resilient, caring communities where we all belong and thrive. The hard part is to unlearn the programming of individualism, hierarchy, and control. For Shayla's workshops and services rooted in Ubuntu: https://lnkd.in/ebHkHcQh To learn more about how to transform business culture, build a strong team, and build leadership capabilities for the age of chaos, get in touch with me to learn more about the Ubuntu Generation Process. https://lnkd.in/emkeHg-R

What do you say to the person who thinks it’s my way or the highway?
