Summary

Research shows that not only can Intergenerational Trauma be passed on by the way we parent, but also through DNA. Join me this week with Selma Baćevac as we talk about what Intergenerational Trauma can look like and how to break the cycle.Selma is a mother of two toddlers and a psychotherapist entrepreneur. She works with women and parents who want to overcome and heal trauma by offering one-one consulting, online masterclasses, and community. Selma's message is simple: "No child should ever experience the two types of fear: the fear of war and the fear of their parents." Selma was born in Bosnia and Herzegovina, lived through the Siege of Sarajevo during the war and genocide in Bosnia and was a resettled refugee to the United States at 12 years old. Selma has been working as a psychotherapist for over 12 years. She has helped thousands of people heal their past traumas to move forward with their lives. More recently, Selma wrote and published a book, "Adem and the Magic Fenjer," where she helps parents with little children speak about refugees and how to hold compassionate and brave conversations.
