Scenario

When families recreate trauma patterns during collective healing ceremonies

Our family has been working with a traditional healer to address generational trauma, but my adult siblings and I keep falling into old dysfunctional patterns even during the healing work itself — competing for the healer's attention, minimizing each other's pain, or trying to control how the process should go. The irony isn't lost on us that we're recreating the very dynamics we came to heal, but we don't know how to break the cycle while staying committed to the collective healing.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A family seeking to heal generational wounds finds themselves unconsciously perpetuating the same relational dynamics within the sacred healing space itself.
