I felt we've spent too long focusing on the individual and maybe even parenting, but not enough about the family system, and certainly not nearly enough about the generations, how patterns and behaviours and relationships get passed down from generation to generation.
Ever wondered how the stories passed down in your family shape who you are today? Helen Russell's 'How To Be Sad' podcast brings this to light with a heartfelt conversation featuring Julia Samuel, a renowned psychotherapist and grief counsellor. Julia, the author of bestsellers like 'Grief Works' and 'This Too Shall Pass', dives deep into the significance of family narratives and inherited trauma.
With her extensive experience and personal journey of exploring her own family stories, Julia offers a unique perspective on why understanding our past is crucial for personal growth. In this episode, Julia and Helen discuss a range of topics that touch on the core of human emotions and relationships. They talk about how inherited trauma can influence our lives, the role of family in teaching us about love, and the importance of attachment theory.
Julia also sheds light on the concept of 'rupture and repair' in relationships, highlighting how conflicts can lead to stronger bonds when handled correctly. One particularly engaging part of their conversation revolves around the pros and cons of Zoom therapy. Julia shares her insights on how virtual sessions have changed the landscape of psychotherapy, offering both challenges and opportunities for deeper connections.
Whether you're curious about the impact of your family's past on your present or seeking advice on navigating emotional pain, this episode offers valuable insights. Julia's wisdom and Helen's thoughtful questions make for an enlightening discussion that will resonate with anyone interested in understanding the complexities of family dynamics and personal healing. Tune in to discover how embracing your family's story can be a powerful agent for change and growth.
