Healing the Legacy of Historical & Transgenerational Trauma
October 15, 2022 at 10:00 am to 5:00 pm PDT
Every life involves suffering, and some experience more suffering than others. Making sense of the psychological, emotional, relational difficulties, and addictive patterns that someone experienced as a result of their childhood requires a thoughtful exploration of inherited transgenerational trauma patterns and survival strategies—legacies that are rooted in surviving the historical traumas of war, genocide, colonization, forced migration, or extreme poverty.
Parallel to our shared familiarity with adversity is our shared ability to heal. By expanding our landscape to encompass the trauma of our ancestors, we also allow for reclamation of unrecognized resources for the healing of the heart-wounds of our inner child and mending disrupted storylines. This larger landscape of traumatic grief, loss, homesickness and the ambiguity of these unnamable, unmetabolized experiences has a transgenerational impact that needs to be named in order to be healed.
Join trauma therapist and facilitator Linda Thai for a transformative workshop on naming, understanding, and healing historical and transgenerational trauma. Through this process, Linda guides participants to discover potential paths forward for reclamation of the losses of their inner child, culture, and ancestors.
This workshop provides a synthesis of research presentations and storytelling—the practical and the soulful—and includes guided writing activities, mindfulness practices, and somatic practices. This includes creating an ancestral timeline and family tree that encompasses historical trauma and the transgenerational transmission of unresolved trauma and loss and a guided mindfulness practice that may shift your relationship with your parents. Linda also shares guided writing and somatic exercises that will help to move anger (unmetabolized grief) into and out of the body.
This workshop is suitable for anyone who is interested in exploring traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, as well as clinicians supporting clients with transgenerational trauma. The teachings provided are appropriate for healthcare professionals as well as the general public. Healthcare professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients.
This course is for anyone who feels overwhelmed and/or exhausted by the many faces of anger. In increasingly polarized times, we’ll explore anger not as pathology, but as survival energy and sacred power.

Having a voice is a fundamental part of being human and allows us to connect to others in healthy ways: to communicate our needs and desires; to speak up when expectations have not been met, or when boundaries are over-stepped; and to connect and to share our innermost worlds.

For those interested, Linda also hosts a guided mediation at the beginning of the video!
Trauma 101: Trauma Education
Learning about trauma can be empowering and transformative….and we also know that the traumatized brain may have limited capacity to learn, integrate and apply new information.
Too much information can be dysregulating. Over this next month, Linda Thai will take us through how trauma impacts the body and the nervous system, and can drive the formation of personality in marvelously adaptive ways.
These bite-sized presentations will use visuals to help to illustrate concepts and will be interwoven with somatic practices to enhance learning, to create a bridge between theoretical knowledge and practical, life-affirming skills.
Sponsored by the Trauma Research Foundation.
In this intimate, wide-ranging conversation, Janina Fisher and therapist, educator, and former child refugee Linda Thai explore what it means to live, work, and speak from a body shaped by war, displacement, and structural oppression—while also becoming a “celebrity” in the mental health world. Together they name the “mental health speaker celebrity industrial complex,” the imposter parts that never quite go away, and the quiet cost of being placed on a pedestal while still longing to feel like you truly belong.
For clinicians, this conversation offers both personal and clinical wisdom: how we think about refugee and immigrant clients, how we recognize non-human relationships and nature as sources of attachment and regulation, how we soften the “white gaze,” and how we bring more heart, soul, and judicious self-disclosure into our teaching and therapy spaces without losing our professional center.
