This process offers a compassionate approach to ancestral trauma by helping clients identify and gently engage with the core wound of one parent at a time. Through the shared relational field, clients bring in competent external resources—not from themselves—to meet their parent’s unmet developmental needs. This careful boundary restores the client's (as a child’s) role and helps heal the “parentified child” dynamic as well as possibly mitigating adult estrangement. As the parent begins to receive support, healing often reverberates through the lineage, touching previous generations and descendants alike—illustrated powerfully in John’s work with his abusive father and paternal grandmother.

During this demonstration session, Dr. Levine will lead us in exploring how we may be influenced by circumstances that our ancestors experienced during their lifetimes. These influences may be beyond our conscious awareness - we may have no knowledge of our ancestors. Through awareness of our unconscious connection, we can approach the complexities of our family line and childhood trauma with reverence to heal the Self.
