Ep. 5 Exploring the Intersection of Intergenerational Trauma & Adoption with Dr. Mariel Buqué
There are invisible threads that tie us to our ancestors and shape our lives today. For adoptees, and their support systems, reconciling this truth can open up a world of awareness, grace, forgiveness, and understanding.
This conversation with the incredible psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert, and the author Dr. Mariel Buqué, blew my mind.
What to expect in this episode...
- We explore the intersection of psychology and biology, where past experiences, fractures, and uprooting can create the perfect breeding ground for trauma.
- We discuss the hidden connections between our minds and bodies and how intergenerational trauma can impact us, and keep a hold on us – especially for those of us who have unknown genetic ties influencing who we are today.
- Breaking generational cycles requires a level of awareness and when we don’t have that connection, we have to do excavation work. Adoptees have to understand this piece to move towards healing and breaking the cycle. And, more importantly, our caregivers, parents, and support systems have to give us our truth, so we can have at a minimum the awareness piece, and have the option to do the work.
For the remainder of the year, The Adoptee Diaries will focus on introducing and aligning the adoptee community to the accessible resources, tools, and concepts that are available to ensure anyone in need of support has them so they can experience healing, a sense of belonging, and identity.
Adopted or not, I encourage you to take a listen to this episode. It might just change the way you see your own existence and provide further clarity into how you show up as a parent, as a professional, in your personal relationships, and for yourself.
