Book excerpt: In Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Rewrite Your Story, Rosie Peggy Greenwood offers a compassionate and empowering guide to understanding and healing from the deep wounds of generational trauma. This transformative book explores how the unspoken pains and unresolved issues of our ancestors can shape our lives in profound ways, influencing our relationships, mental health, and overall sense of self. With a blend of personal stories, scientific research, and practical exercises, Greenwood provides readers with the tools they need to break free from the past and create a brighter, healthier future for themselves and future generations. Understanding Generational Trauma: Generational trauma, also known as intergenerational trauma, refers to the transmission of traumatic experiences and emotional pain from one generation to the next. It can manifest in various ways, such as patterns of abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and emotional disconnection, often without the individual understanding the root cause of their struggles. Breaking the Cycle delves into the science behind this phenomenon, drawing on research in epigenetics, psychology, and family systems theory to explain how trauma can be passed down through the generations and how it impacts our lives today. The Healing Journey: This book is not just about understanding trauma; it’s about healing it. Greenwood guides readers through a step-by-step process of identifying and addressing the generational patterns that may be holding them back. With chapters dedicated to self-awareness, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems therapy, and narrative therapy, Breaking the Cycle offers a comprehensive toolkit for healing. Each chapter is filled with practical exercises, reflection prompts, and actionable strategies designed to help readers uncover hidden wounds, challenge limiting beliefs, and rewrite their personal and family narratives. Inspiring Stories of Transformation: Throughout the book, readers will find inspiring stories of individuals and families who have successfully broken the cycle of generational trauma. These stories illustrate the diverse paths to healing and demonstrate that transformation is possible, no matter how deep the pain or how long the trauma has been present. By sharing these real-life examples, Greenwood offers hope and encouragement, showing that it is possible to overcome the past and build a new legacy rooted in resilience, empowerment, and love. Building a New Legacy: Breaking the Cycle is also a guide to building a new legacy—one that is free from the constraints of the past and rich with possibility for the future. Greenwood emphasizes the importance of cultivating positive habits, establishing healthy relationships, and engaging in communities that foster growth and healing. The book provides specific guidance for parents on how to raise children in a way that prevents the transmission of trauma, ensuring a healthier emotional and psychological environment for the next generation. A Lifelong Commitment to Healing: Healing from generational trauma is not a one-time event; it is a lifelong journey. Breaking the Cycle reinforces the idea that healing is a continuous process, with its own set of challenges and rewards. Greenwood encourages readers to stay committed to their path of transformation, offering words of empowerment and hope. She reminds readers that they have the power to change their story, break free from the past, and create a future that is defined by strength, resilience, and hope. Who Should Read This Book: Breaking the Cycle is for anyone who feels burdened by the weight of their past or the struggles of their family history. Whether you are aware of the trauma in your lineage or have only recently begun to explore these issues, this book offers valuable insights and tools for healing. It is also an essential resource for therapists, counselors, and mental health professionals who work with clients dealing with generational trauma. Conclusion: In Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal Generational Trauma and Rewrite Your Story, Rosie Peggy Greenwood offers a compassionate, insightful, and practical guide to breaking free from the chains of generational trauma. With a focus on empowerment and transformation, this book provides readers with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration needed to heal from the past and create a legacy of hope, strength, and resilience for future generations. Whether you are at the beginning of your healing journey or well on your way, this book will serve as a trusted companion, guiding you toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.

Download or read book Families and Larger Systems written by Evan Imber-Black and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 1992-06-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If individuals cannot adequately be understood without reference to the family system, families themselves are comprehensible only in a broader social context. FAMILIES AND LARGER SYSTEMS is the first single-author book on families and larger systems designed specifically for the practicing therapist. It offers rich descriptions of the difficulties families and larger systems often pose for one another; presents a detailed assessment model for therapists; and provides a careful interviewing format as well as directions for designing creative interventions. Imber-Black offers a consultation model for dealing with families and larger systems who have become embroiled with one another, and methods for longer term work with those families who must engage with larger systems across significant portions of their life cycle, due to illness, handicaps, or poverty. Problems of labeling, stigma, and secrecy in families are addressed, and an entire chapter is devoted to women's issues in families and related systems. Utilizing numerous case illustrations and interview excerpts, Dr, Imber-Black first delineates the problems common to family-larger system situations, analyzing the origins of these interactions, the assessment model and interviewing methods used, and the design and implementation of intervention. In the second half of her book, she presents in-depth discussions of strategies for improving the relationship between families and related systems. Through concrete example and hands-on analysis, Imber-Black shows how the misconceptions, assumptions, and subsequent labeling of family functioning and family members give rise to stalemated situations. FAMILIES AND LARGER SYSTEMS provides a practical guide for all clinicians regardless of theoretical orientation. Therapists who wish to maintain a career in public sector settings, such as mental health clinics, hospitals, and schools, will find in this volume direction for effective work with families and the maintenance of good working relationships with colleagues. Therapists in private practice will discover that Imber-Black's model will aid their conceptualization of cases that have involved multiple therapists or other practitioners. Much of the material presented will also be useful to human services workers, both professional and paraprofessional, in welfare, child welfare, probation, drug counseling, schools and other institutions. The book's ecological viewpoint, which enables such professionals to see their own position in the system, also helps them to avoid the traps of replicating existing patterns, and to position themselves for therapeutic change. Finally, this book will be of interest to human service system administrators and program planners. The case examples offer a seldom seen view of the struggles families and multiple helpers can have with one another, while its theoretical models can be utilized to assess current inter-systematic functioning among larger systems in a community, with implications for program design and burn-out prevention.

Download or read book Family Systems Application to Social Work written by Karen Gail Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1991, this title is a valuable social work text which demonstrated how to apply family system concepts to clinical situations encountered in work with inner-city populations at the time. Unlike traditional theories in clinical social work which were oriented toward the individual, this fascinating book offers a paradigm for social work that encompasses the client, his or her immediate and extended family, the community, the government, and the social worker. The family systems concepts in this refreshing volume are illustrated by case examples addressing the specific issues of AIDS and drug abuse, homelessness, foster care, wife abuse, care of those with intellectual disabilities, and adoption issues. Social workers and social work students can still gain perspective from these insightful chapters and will discover that it is not pathological people that make difficult populations, but difficult life situations that breed pathology.
Download or read book The Way of a Bride with Her Groom written by Ernest Witmer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text was simple that portentous Tuesday morning: “Please pray for us, we’ve been hit by a truck.” It came from my daughter Kristi as I was entering the Wal-Mart there in Canon City, Colorado, where I was waiting for Rachel to arrive. We had planned to help Asher and Teresa and her family prepare for their wedding in just four days. But, out of nowhere, a hulking Dodge Ram pickup came crashing through the driver’s door, right into the delicate body of my wife. It was 10:40, the morning of November 6, 2012. Nothing could have prepared me for what lay ahead. Rachel and I had seldom talked about what it would be like to lose each other. We had filed an official will with the Griffith Law Office in International Falls, Minnesota, many years before. We had both outlined basic funeral plans as well, and she had updated hers just the year before in 2011. But to actually try to imagine what such a scenario would be like... it just wasn’t something we wanted to do.
Download or read book Restorative Theory in Practice written by Belinda Hopkins and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Restorative practice is an innovative approach to thinking about, and addressing, conflict and bullying, as well as disruptive, challenging and criminal behaviour. The approach is increasingly used to transform the culture of organisations, institutions and services and the way people communicate with one another. In this book, ten practitioners describe a restorative encounter as seen through the lens of their own theoretical model. The book's unique structure is modelled on a restorative practice known as Circle Time- comprising of a Check-in, a Main Activity, and a Check-out. In the Check-in the practitioner explains how their own theoretical model informs their practice; in the Main Activity they comment on the same case studies to highlight how each theory can deepen our understanding of what might be happening and why; and in the Check-out they reflect on what they have learned from reading each other's contributions. This is a unique exemplar of how restorative theory and practice can influence how practitioners think, learn and write about restorative practice. This will be an invaluable resource for restorative practitioners working across sectors including education, social services, youth offending or policy.
Download or read book Creating Love written by John Bradshaw and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013-04-24 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Why are so many of us at times completely baffled by a relationship? How can we think we know someone so well and admit in the end that we hardly knew that person at all? Why do many people who work diligently and strenuously to gain wholeness and balance still feel so frustrated about having a fulfilling relationship? Why have so many people given up on love?”—from the Prologue John Bradshaw’s bestselling books and compelling PBS series have touched and changed millions of lives. Now, in Creating Love, he offers us a new way to understand our most crucial relationships—with our romantic partners and spouses, with our parents and children, with friends and co-workers, with ourselves, and with God. Bradshaw’s compassionate approach shows that many of us have been literally “entranced” by past experiences of counterfeit love, so we unknowingly re-create patterns that can never fulfill us. Here he provides both the insights and the precise tools we need to keep those destructive patterns from repeating in the present. And then he shows how we can open ourselves to the soul-building work of real love—and create healthy, loving relationships where we can be fully ourselves in every part of our lives.

Social Work in Ireland: Changes and Continuities has brought together a range of academics and professionals to provide a comprehensive analysis of social work in the Republic of Ireland. It addresses key questions such as 'How is social work in Ireland responding to rapidly changing social, cultural and economic circumstances?'; 'How will the new relationships between the state/NGO/private sectors impact on the provision of social services?' and 'How does, and will, social work respond to the needs of specific service user groups?' In addressing these questions the book explores key areas of practice, including child welfare, domestic violence, mental health, working with migrants and minority ethnic groups, substance misuse, probation services, and work with older people and people with a disability. This book is an essential read for students of social work and social care in Ireland and will also be of great interest to qualified practitioners in both the social work field and other social care professions.
