Freedom from the past

This book guides reassure you that you dont have to repeat the same patterns as your family which is comforting. The parts about setting healthier boundaries and learning to trust again were simple but really helpful. I also enjoyed the way it explains family roles. it’s a hopeful and practical listen that makes you feel you can truly break the cycle.

Grow into building an empowering legacy!

My maternal grandparents were alcoholics. Mom suffered the results, many of them passed on to me. Then my life circumstances left both me and my daughters with PTSD. I've experienced the generational nature of trauma first hand. I've also been in therapy for years. But Martin taught me how generational trauma impacts epigenetics. That's a sobering reality. But the author didn't leave me feeling defeated. Rather, I found this book to be honest, empowering, and practical. The way Martin wove her story into the text made her so relatable and credible. She made me excited to try "ugly journaling" and narrative therapy.

I've very grateful to have listened to this book. I highly recommend it to those who want to go beyond just breaking the trauma cycle to leaving an empowering legacy for their children.
