Breaking the Cycles of Intergenerational Trauma with Rubina Dhani

<p>“Because it’s the way things have always been done.” How often does that response surface when you start questioning the way things are? When we talk about intergenerational trauma, this concept of tradition and remaining within the same cycles and patterns throughout years and generations can be hard to challenge. But let’s be honest - those old ways of doing things are often creating more harm than good. Those who go against the norms may be considered a black sheep in the family, maybe it’s time to let the black sheep take the lead!&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Joining The Conscious Leadership Podcast for a discussion all about breaking those cycles of trauma is Rubina Dhani, LMFT and BIWOC empowerment coach. In our discussion, we dive into the impact of intergenerational trauma, what it can look like to break those old patterns and cycles, and how trauma impacts everything from our DNA to personality disorders. Rubina also shares her journey in moving from a therapist to an online coach and healer alongside her own healing journey, and how she stepped into her authentic voice.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>When working through any journey of healing from trauma, it all comes down to the choice of how we want to live our lives. We get to make that decision every day. So if you can even increase the happiness in your life even one extra second a day, that is worth it. It might mean you need to break old patterns and break old cycles, but from this episode you’ll learn to keep asking yourself, “Is this the life I want to live?”</p> <p><br></p> <p>[1:38] Introduction to Rubina Dhani, LMFT and BIWOC empowerment coach</p> <p>[3:46] Rubina shares how she started working with intergenerational trauma and how she stepped into her authentic self as a healer</p> <p>[7:41] Helping our families and communities understand intergenerational trauma, and breaking old patterns and cycles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>[13:33] Trauma and our DNA&nbsp;</p> <p>[17:14] The prevalence of codependency and poor parent-child relationships as int
