When a trauma happens, it changes us, literally it changes us.

It causes a chemical change in our DNA.

And this can change how our genes function,

sometimes for even generations.

Technically, there's a chemical attack after an event,

traumatic event that attaches to our DNA.

And it tells the cells to use or ignore certain genes enabling us to deal with this trauma that just

happened. Today's episode is seriously one of my favorites.

I cannot wait to share it with you.

And for you to discover all about this author and the book that has made a tremendous impact on me and my life.

Mark Wollin is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco

and is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma.

He's also the author of inherited family trauma.

He's also the author of It Didn't Start with You,

how inherited family trauma shapes who we are

and how to end the cycle.

Mark specializes in working with depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, fears, panic disorders,

chronic pain, and persistent symptoms and conditions.

He is someone that has tremendously helped me over this past year and this is an

episode where I get incredibly vulnerable. I talk about parts of my personal life and

my upbringing that I've never shared publicly before and Mark walks me through how to

end cycles of trauma and really tells me how my family history has shaped who I am and why that's important.
