Dr. Thomas shines the light on the concept of “buffering” intergenerational trauma, expanding on the perspective that trauma and wisdom are imprinted from one generation to the next. She describes trauma that happens outside as well as inside the home – and how trauma can also be created and shaped by society, impacting segments of our population disproportionately. Sharing her newest research along with easy-to-implement techniques that benefit all of us, Dr. Thomas’s approach to healing is refreshing, practical and holistic.
