You Are Not Your Trauma: Uproot Unhealthy Patterns, Heal the Family Tree

Break the Cycle-Transform Generational Trauma into Personal Growth and Recovery

In You Are Not Your Trauma: Uproot Unhealthy Patterns and Heal the Family Tree, mental health and addiction recovery expert Caroline Beidler, MSW, uncovers the profound connection between generational trauma and personal healing-and how we can rewrite our stories of pain into recovery. Through personal storytelling, insightful research, and actionable guidance, Beidler shows that while trauma may be inherited, healing can be too.

By exploring five transformative rhythms-about self-worth, compassion, courage, honesty, and grace-this book provides a clear path to lasting change. Also included are practical steps like journaling through family patterns, setting healthy boundaries, and creating self-care rituals that will help you reclaim your life with purpose and strength.

Enriched with powerful stories from Beidler's own mother, Diana Dalles, this book offers a heartfelt and honest look at how trauma takes root across generations-and how we can finally disrupt the cycle. You Are Not Your Trauma empowers you to move beyond inherited pain, embrace personal growth, and step into a future of resilience and renewal. It is more than a book, it is an experience.
