Learn this simple technique that therapists use  to help clients gain clarity, confidence and courage through mapping trauma and resilience.

This masterclass will cover the basics of intergenerational trauma and resilience while teaching you how to create and design your own personal genogram. As a practicing trauma therapist, I use genograms with almost all of my clients to highlight pain points and strengths. It&#x27;s one of my favorite techniques because it almost always leads to that &quot;a-ha&quot; moment. W﻿hat does this masterclass cover?I﻿n this masterclass, you&#x27;ll learn all about how trauma shows up and is passed down through generations in a family. Summer will teach you the basics of intergenerational trauma (including epigenetics, common symptoms of trauma, and cycles of violence) AND intergenerational strengths and resilience. W﻿hat is a genogram? At its core, a genogram is a family tree with LOTS of detail. It&#x27;s a visual model of intergenerational patterns in mental health conditions, relationship dynamics, and family strengths and weaknesses. Genograms are used by both individual and family therapists around the world to help people better understand their families, histories, and themselves. W﻿hat will I leave with?
