Healing Intergenerational Trauma

Historical or intergenerational trauma can impact groups of people in both subtle and acute ways, affecting countless generations. It can be helpful to make space for strong emotions by getting curious about them through insight and by leaning on gratitude. This audio-only course is led by Rev. Dr. Ronné Wingate Sims, an ordained Baptist minister, speaker, teacher, and activist who creates culturally relevant healing spaces for those working through intergenerational and ongoing trauma. In this course, you’ll practice a mindfulness exercise to bring awareness to the physical manifestations of intergenerational trauma. You’ll learn to identify the feelings you experience around traumatic events, name them, and process their impact. You’ll also practice expressing gratitude for your ancestors, your community, and yourself. After this course, you’ll have a mindfulness tool you can use to continue the difficult but rewarding work of processing and healing from intergenerational trauma.
