Summary
Now more than ever, trauma is being discussed in mainstream discussions. We are learning that trauma can impact not only our minds but also our bodies, prevent us from taking action, and even lead us to a state of disease. But how do we assess and heal our generational and individual trauma and empower our minds and bodies to rise through our challenges?
Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with professor, psychologist, and author Dr. Marial Buqué to discuss trauma and breaking the cycle of trauma. Dr. Buqué shares how we can become more aware of the trauma we have suffered and the patterns that we engage in as a result. She also shares the common misconceptions of trauma and discusses the importance of calming the nervous system before addressing unresolved trauma. Dr. Buqué describes practical tips she uses with her patients to implement a body-centric approach to self-care and healing.
Dr. Mariel Buqué is a Columbia trained trauma-informed psychologist, professor, author, and sound bath meditation healer. Her clinical work centers on healing wounds of intergenerational trauma, holistic mental wellness, and centering indigenous healing practices. Her newest book, Break The Cycle, will be released on January 2, 2024.
