In this powerful episode of "Finding You Now," host Amanda Ashworth tackles the challenging reality of healing generational trauma while actively parenting. Drawing from personal experience and neuroscience, Amanda explores how unconscious patterns travel through families and why awareness alone isn't enough to break these cycles. Listeners will discover why healing isn't linear, the neurobiological basis of trauma responses, and three practical strategies for interrupting harmful patterns: embracing repair over perfection, developing trigger awareness, and building real-world regulation practices. Whether you've caught yourself repeating phrases from your childhood or noticed familiar patterns emerging despite your best intentions, this episode offers both compassion and actionable tools for the messy, courageous work of healing what wasn't yours while raising children who won't have to.
