It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn

  

“You are your ancestors living dream”

Once upon a time your ancestors were praying for you. For the gifts you have, the freedom you enjoy, for the very life that you are experiencing – know that you are not alone, but rather you are connected to all of those that came before you.

A crucial element of spiritual life coaching is connecting to our ancestors – often we think obstacles in our life have started with us, but often they are unresolved wounds that have been passed from one parent to one child from generation to generation.

 

We can decide, that in this life, we are going to resolve whatever it is that is being repeated through generations.

Within my own lineage, I am the first woman to have received a degree, owned and operated her own businesses and bought her own property independent of a partner.

I know before me, there had been arranged marriages & limitations placed on what women could do, who they could be and what was available to them. All of these layers of patriarchy and suppression in my lineage have shown up within my life in ways that have made me truly doubt the decisions I have made for myself, the feeling of safety I felt within myself, that maybe my purpose was just to get married and be dependent on a successful husband. There have been questions within me as to whether it is allowed for me to really stand up within my own leadership, or whether as a woman I would only be truly valued and received if I was in my feminine and receiving, rather than creating and causing. That a good woman supports her man regardless of what that means for her and her life.

 

I have chosen within my lineage to stand up within my life and say “this ends with me. I will not live as the supportive partner that endures all, represses all and settles for all. I will stand up, make my own choices, create my own mould and live a life that feels meaningful to me – not just as caretaker to others, but as a unique being in my own right entitled to my own life and experiences too”

 

SO we each have been gifted the chance to be the people in our lineage to create a shift. Maybe you are going to break the ties of poverty and you are going to heal the relationship with money. Maybe it’s a history of addiction you are going to break.

This isn’t woo woo, epigenetics shows that the traumas that your grandfather experienced actually alters your DNA, it will show up in your life if not resolved.

We can ask our parents to describe the relationships they had with their parents – you will likely see some patterns show up. Say for example, you don’t feel really connected to your father, its likely he didn’t feel very connected to his – and if you go back in the lineage, its likely that no father has been truly connected to their child.

 

This is a very superficial example, it runs deeper. Colonialism, systemised racism, slavery are all encoded within the lineage of the people walking this earth today. Being informed, being aware, not only helps us respect our own obstacles and journey as things that require deep healing – but this awareness helps us to extend more compassion and empathy towards others too. You simply don’t know what a person is carrying, you simply don’t know what someone is working to break within their lifetime.
