The transgenerational: freeing oneself from family history
The reading break with the Jouvence editions today honors the transgenerational. Isabelle Sarne wrote the book » Freedom from family history“. Its mission: to question the heritage transmitted to us by our family to free us from it.
Transgenerational: from generation to generation
When we come into the world, we inherit a multitude of family data. Some carry us, others, unconsciously, hinder us. The traumas and things left unsaid, experienced by one of our ancestors, can reverberate until they unconsciously induce troubles. They can be psychological or physical.
But then how can a trauma that a great-grandfather would have experienced survive in us 100 years later?
Well, when we take a shock, we often have two ways of reacting. The first is to exteriorize, very quickly. This option reduces the emotional imprint.
Faced with the same shock, we also have the choice to internalize our emotions, our sorrows. In this case, the trauma leaves an imprint in certain areas of the brain. The shock is not digested, and is transmitted unconsciously.
You will have understood: verbalization is one of the key steps to free yourself. It’s not the only one. Isabelle also advises engaging the body to properly digest trauma or shock.
Become an actor of his life
Isabelle Sarne therefore offers a guide book to question our relationship to the history of our family. Indeed, the transgenerational zoom on the links, the relationships between the people of a family with the family tree.
She also has at heart to allow the reader to discover himself with accompanying exercises to discover over the pages. It offers a creative approach to transgenerational but above all accessible to all.
