Trauma and cancer are two distinct yet interconnected health concerns that can have profound impacts on the physical and emotional well-being of those who experience it. 

Past trauma will affect everything from the ability to cope with difficult diagnoses to navigating treatments and lifestyle changes, and even fears of recurrence - but did you know that trauma also significantly influences your ability to develop cancer in the first place? 

In this episode, Dr. Keesha and Regan Claire explore beyond the physical and biological effects of trauma and tap into the impact trauma has on the mind and the habits of the mind - which can ultimately lead to the development of cancer and autoimmune disease.

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!
