Trauma is not physically held in our bodies - instead, it’s tucked away in the memory and emotional centers of the brain. In order to protect ourselves, it becomes a signal for the nervous system to activate whenever a similar situation occurs...
The problem with that is - you will habitually look for it to happen again and when our nervous system is constantly replaying that response, it becomes overactive - eventually leading to a flood of unwanted symptoms, complications, and ultimately disease.
In this week’s episode of Liberating Generations, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire dive deep into the impact that trauma has on your immune system and why getting to the root of the problem is absolutely imperative for your health.

Liberating Generations
You can inherit not only your Mother’s eyes, Father’s smile and Grandfather’s hairline; you also unwittingly inherited the generational trauma that runs through your family lineage. Unresolved trauma is often the missing piece of the puzzle in any chronic illness (autoimmunity and cancer included), addiction, relationship unhappiness, and even financial stress. Intergenerational trauma influences your genetic expression, gut microbiome, self-sabotaging behaviors, perceptions of unworthiness, emotional reactivity and the way you perceive yourself, your world, and everyone in it.
Liberating Generations is a podcast hosted by Mother-Daughter duo Dr. Keesha Ewers and Regan Claire that provides a forum for health experts from a wide variety of backgrounds from science to spirituality and philosophy to psychology to provide tools and tips you can use to free yourself and the generations before and after you from patterns that keep you stuck. If you are ready for straight talk that helps you and your loved ones live fuller lives filled with mission and purpose free of addiction and disease- we invite you to tune in!
