Breaking the Cycle: Faith, Therapy, and Healing Generations Deep- With Gina Birkemeier
In this powerful episode, we sit down with licensed professional counselor and author, Gina Birkemeier, to explore the complex but crucial topic of generational trauma. Gina's new book, Generations Deep, offers a roadmap for understanding how our past can impact our present and future.
In this episode, we discuss:
Understanding Generational Trauma: What is it, and why do our bodies and minds keep repeating unhealthy cycles from our family's past?
The Nervous System & Familiarity with Dysfunction: How our nervous systems can get wired to feel comfortable in chaos, and what that means for our well-being.
Faith and Therapy: We challenge the myth that being a Christian and going to therapy are at odds. Gina explains how faith and professional counseling can work together to bring about profound healing.
Defining Trauma: A clear and helpful breakdown of "Big T" versus "little t" trauma, and why both are valid and deserve attention.
Emotionally Corrective Experiences: Learn what these are and how they can help rewire your brain and body for healthier responses.
Attachment Styles: A quick guide to understanding your attachment style and how it influences your relationships.
Emotions and Bodily Sensations: Practical advice on what to do with overwhelming feelings and physical sensations, and how to process them in a healthy way.
