One of the most underrated things when it comes to healing from past traumas is recognizing, acknowledging, and then healing from generational/ancestral trauma.  Quite often we talk about traumas that have happened in our lives, but less commonly we talk about traumas from our ancestors, grandparents, parents, etc.  Ultimately, their traumas, become our traumas.  My guest today, Marie Benoit is talking all about this newer concept and how and why it affects us.

Marie Benoit is a licensed clinical social worker and trauma coach. She helps women break cycles of generational dysfunction so that they can meet their own needs and architect a life of their dreams. Working in the mental health world for 8 plus years, Marie noticed that there were many "band aids" being handed out that only provided temporary solutions. A survivor of childhood trauma, anxiety, depression and PTSD herself, Marie felt deep in her bones that there must be another way. As an avid life learner, she buried herself in research around trauma, reshaping the autonomic nervous system and ancestral healing. As a result, Marie's clients show up in life as authentically themselves with the confidence to create whatever life feels good to them. Marie's mission in life is to help women feel safe to show up as they are so that they can share the unique gifts they have with the world.
