Hello everyone and welcome to Saturn Returns with me Kaggi Dunlop. This is a

podcast that aims to bring clarity during transitional times where there can be

confusion and doubt.

Today I am joined by Dr. Mariel Bouquet.

Dr. Mariel received her doctorate in counselling Psychology from Columbia University, where she also trained in holistic

mental health. She is a world-renowned intergenerational trauma expert and the author of the book

Break the Cycle, A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma.

Her clinical framework is holistic and infuses ancient and indigenous healing practices into a modern comprehensive therapeutic approach.

I wanted to get Dr. Mariel on the show because I followed her for some time on social media and I love the content she puts out. I wanted to talk to her

about intergenerational trauma and how that shows up and how we can actually do the work to heal it. In this episode we cover some of the ways that you can get the

tools to handle things when they're showing up in the body, how to diffuse a situation when you feel activated and your

nervous system is in overdrive. I found this conversation so useful and so calming

she has such a calming way and voice and it was just a really lovely

conversation to have on a very difficult and complex subject but I found her tools and

her way of approaching this really, really handy so I hope you found it useful too.

In this episode we cover emotional trauma, intergenerational trauma, how to form healthy relationships when you are healing

from trauma, toxic relationship cycles, mental health, family dynamics, and how this shows up in different aspects of your life, not just the

personal ones, professional. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

It's such a beautiful name that you have especially your last name like

the way it's bouquet right that's how it's pronounced that's right yeah I

always tell people like a bouquet of flowers that helps them remember. Yeah, I love it.

Well, welcome to the podcast.
