Step Into the Light: Transforming the Transgenerational Trauma of Your Fami: Exploring Systemic Healing, Inherited Emotional Genealogy, Entanglements, ... and Body Focused Systemic Constellations) - Tapa blanda

Step Into The Light provides hope for anyone frustrated with a lack of answers for their symptoms, conditions and repetitive life challenges. Do you experience unexplainable fears; feelings of grief, anger or shame; addictions; relationship challenges; anxiety or depression; burnout or chronic health conditions? These are some of the ways that descendants carry transgenerational trauma for their ancestors. Step Into The Light is the third in a series of books called Transforming the Transgenerational Trauma of Your Family Tree. The book reflects on ways to recognize transgenerational trauma and body focused systemic ways to transform and heal it, so that it doesn't have to pass down to your children and grandchildren. Step Into The Light reflects upon how to recognize the transgenerational trauma you might be carrying for your parents, grandparents and ancestors, and provides body focused ways to address it. If you repeatedly explore different medical treatments, therapies or alternative healing techniques, yet remain stuck in life in some way; there is a strong likelihood that you are entangled with someone or something in your family system that is emotionally unresolved. My family system had plenty of transgenerational trauma to address and yours might too. War, immigration, displacement, family tragedy, birth trauma, adoption, exclusion or religious persecution are some of the transgenerational trauma experiences that transmit from generation to generation. Silence is a profound carrier of transgenerational trauma in many family systems. If you know very little about your ancestors, then the transgenerational trauma has been silenced. Family secrets or traumatizing experiences that are silenced take on a life of their own. They live on in the unconscious body of family members waiting to be addressed. The impact on living generations becomes more powerful with each generation of silence. This book covers an array of transgenerational trauma topics, including many that are often rendered taboo by families and societies. Our ancestors didn't have access to the knowledge about systemic healing that we are developing today. What the ancestors suppressed emotionally, going on stoically as if everything was fine, may be a template for your life. Any transgenerational trauma or inherited trauma that you don't address may be passed down to your children and grandchildren through their preconception, prenatal, perinatal and postnatal emotional experiences; epigenetically; through collective memory or culturally in the cells of their body. Most of you carry either subtle or blatant unresolved family emotional wounds or trauma as energetic entanglements and it may be holding you back in life. You may be surprised to learn that you unconsciously sacrificed yourself out of love and loyalty for your greater family system to carry a wound, trauma or imbalance that needed to be acknowledged, addressed and healed. This book covers topics such as systemic healing, creating healthy energy boundaries with the living and the dead, mothers and daughters, and controversial subjects such as patriarchy, incest, cancer and residential schools. In the fast moving, highly technological world of today, we need to develop healthy emotional response patterns and ways to quickly work through our emotional challenges and the issues we carry for our ancestors. This book provides examples of transgenerational trauma and systemic healing for the walking wounded, all the healers and helpers of the world, the victims and perpetrators, the colonized and colonizers, genealogists who continue to search and the many clients and patients who go from one practitioner to another searching for answers. Step Into The Light was written for you and I, and for our children and grandchildren. Through the book, there is integration of the insight found through systemic and family constellations, emphasizing the need for energetic body focused systemic healing approaches.

Patricia Robertson brings a diverse background to the field of transgenerational trauma, seeking to understand the trauma that passes down from one generation to the next in family systems and societies. She is currently a candidate in the Doctor of Social Sciences program at Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC, Canada researching transgenerational trauma and how a lack of inner peace keeps people from creating greater peace in the world. Her interest in transgenerational phenomena came by naturally. At age 12, Patricia inherited the role of seannachaidh - the family genealogist and storyteller - from her maternal and paternal grandmothers. She continues to engage with dozens of lines of her own family system, embracing traditional, emotional and genetic genealogy. Gathering with Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians for a decade, Patricia became aware of the inner woundedness of both the First Peoples on the land and the Settlers – the immigrants. She wanted to understand the emotional healing work to address the transgenerational trauma legacy of colonization and immigration. Through Royal Roads University, she completed her master's research project entitled Healing the Personal Wounds of Colonization: Utilizing Third Party Consultation to Transform Canada's Post-Residential School Societal Conflict. Patricia has also completed a BCom and a BA(Hon), studying the religions of the world, through University of Calgary. Concurrently, she followed her passion and researched the spiritual and cultural practices, ritual and ceremony within Indigenous communities throughout North, Central and South America.Patricia gained a broad understanding of trauma through her own life experiences, including travel to 67 countries. This provided a strong background in the contextual nature of systemic healing and transgenerational trauma. As an Integrative Wellness Practitioner at Peaceful Possibilities Consulting, Patricia guides clients through the unresolved transgenerational trauma of their family systems. She trained with first and second-generation world renowned systemic constellation facilitators, and leading professionals in integrative energetic body practices. This book is Patricia's way of integrating and sharing what she learned while transforming the transgenerational trauma she carried for her own family system.
