Breaking the Chains of Transgenerational Trauma

My Journey from Surviving to Thriving

By: Dorothy Husen

Narrated by: Veleka Gray

"How could something that happened so long ago affect me today?" I asked my therapist right after she told me I was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). How could an assault at six years old be the defining factor in my adult existence?

And with those questions, my life's trajectory changed. I began to search for answers.

This is the story of that journey. A journey that took me deep into past traumas to face memories I'd tried to bury my whole life. A journey that revealed how my trauma was not mine alone, but was connected to my parents' and grandparents' traumas. A journey that showed me how this transgenerational trauma had controlled my thoughts, my choices, and my life. And how it now infected my children's lives as well.

This is a story of how I finally broke the cycle of transgenerational trauma and found healing - not only for me, but for my children. And now, I share that healing with you. I invite you to travel along with me, practice the exercises at the end of each chapter, and begin your own healing journey from surviving to thriving.

Trauma acceptance and healing

The innocents of a child being taken, and not really understanding . Then the healing and acceptance of yourself . I personally know the author and to read what happen to her as a child brought me to tears . And to know her now and to listen to the way she has learned the tools for helping herself and others is very inspiring .

Disappointing

The story was sad and the author sounds bitter. Jesus did not cause your confusion, your family was toxic and you needed help. The church was a blessing in disguise as you would’ve probably self destructed without it.
If you want but it, but I didn’t care for the reader’s voice either, she sounds like a bitter old woman.
