GENERATIONS DEEP

The story we tell ourselves is the one that becomes the most true . . . But what if that story is based on the wrong information?
We're told that history tends to repeat itself. We're not told that unaddressed trauma and emotional wounds can be passed from one generation to the next. In very real ways-backed by science--we inherit the pain of our ancestors, creating generational patterns of trauma and dysfunction.
In Generations Deep, author and licensed professional counselor Gina Birkemeier helps readers explore the impact of generational patterns and the dangers of passing dysfunctional and traumatic cycles from one generation to the next. She combines memoir, ancestry, questionnaires and inventories developed by trauma-informed mental health professionals, and journal prompts, along with Scripture and scientific research. The result? A practical, life-applicable book unlike anything else that's out there today. As you read, you will feel like you are "in the room" with Gina. She will speak to your story regardless of your faith orientation and perhaps challenge your definition of trauma along the way.
If you are interested in the power of familial legacy and what it means to be a cycle breaker, this is the book for you. It will help you slay shame and find the freedom God wants for you, and for the generations after you.
