What if your deepest wounds aren’t just yours, but passed down through generations? Alyse Bacine, a trauma expert and breathwork facilitator, joins me for a conversation on how healing emotional trauma—especially from childhood or ancestral sources—can strengthen your self-trust and resilience.
We dive into the ripple effects of emotionally unavailable parents as well as the ways abandonment wounds shape our lives. We also unpack how breathwork can help heal trauma and process suppressed emotions. I love bringing on guests who dive into somatic healing and its transformative power – I hope you enjoy my conversation with Alyse!
You’ll hear:
- Alyse walks us through the question, “What if your parents were emotionally available and made space for feelings?” (3:46)
- Abandonment wounds (and what they are): how they show up in relationships in surprising, hidden ways (12:17)
- How your ancestral trauma and familial programming are creating your current glass ceiling (25:24)
- The life-changing and powerful transformation of breathwork (42:37)
