Inherited Trauma Pattern Coaching

Trauma patterns can infiltrate and control significant parts of our lives, whether personal or professional.

Our family’s experiences with adversity can be transmitted across generations and result in inherited patterns that limit our success at work, put an unwelcome ceiling on our creativity, interfere with our capacity to create trusting relationships or make us more risk-averse than we’d like to be.

These patterns can develop across generations, so we can carry them from our parents or grandparents even if we didn’t directly experience an adverse event.

Inherited trauma patterns can be supported and even transformed through coaching.

Coaching for trauma patterns, especially intergenerational trauma patterns, draws upon my training with Mark Wolynn and his book

And it also draws upon the insights on navigating adversity set out in my collaborative book called “Trauma-Informed Law: A Primer for Lawyer Resilience and Healing”.

If you’re interested in coaching for trauma patterns, you’re probably looking for:

  • new ways to shift out of avoidant behaviors in your professional and/or personal life;

  • an approach that draws on evidence-based tools from trauma studies, including embodied wisdom and mind-body tools (and other aspects of the “biopsychosocial” approach to trauma);

  • a new perspective on how adverse events that deeply impacted prior generations in the past may have been transmitted to your generation and may be affecting you in unseen ways;

  • exercises and tools to replace unproductive, fear-based patterns with productive, safety-promoting patterns that allow you more freedom to live life fully instead of being stuck in patterns created by traumatic events.

If you’re interested in coaching for trauma patterns, you can check out Mark Wolynn’s book. I am trained in Mark’s approach to Family Constellations, have assisted with facilitating his training programs and workshops and include “trauma pattern mapping” (also known as the genogram) in this work.
