Episode 16: Mark Wolynn—Understanding Core Language, Family Trauma & Nurturing our Inner Child
Mark Wolynn is a world leader in a unique form of healing and therapy in the field of Family Trauma. He founded The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco having developed a powerful workshop format and training program for individuals and health care practitioners. He wrote the book, It Didn’t Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle, which is an incredible resource that outlines Mark’s discoveries, backed by science and inspired by Mark’s mentor Bert Hellinger. I highly recommend the book, as it also provides eye-opening insights that allow us to connect the dots in our own lives, and awareness is truly the first step to healing. On episode 16 we dive into Mark’s work, how stress responses are passed down generationally and how learning to nurture our inner child is the key to deep healing for each of us.
“The emotions, traits, and behaviors we reject in our parents will likely live on in us. It’s our unconscious way of loving them, a way to bring them back into our lives.”
