Description

Transforming Intergenerational, Trauma into Healing

What is trauma? Is it environmental? Is it genetic? Or is it both? In recent decades, research has demonstrated that traumas and other dispositions can actually be transmitted from generation to generation and is studied in a field known as epigenetics. Historic traumas lying dormant can be "triggered.” How can we, as family caregivers, therapists, rabbis, nurses and doctors, help seniors struggling with daily trauma and turn negatives into positives? What are some tools and resources we can share with older adults to help them navigate their everyday lives?


Keynote Speaker
Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, PhD, is an author, Jungian psychotherapist
and renowned Jewish scholar and teacher. Widely known for her
groundbreaking work in depth psychology, intergenerational trauma healing and the re-integration of the feminine wisdom tradition within Judaism, Rabbi Tirzah lectures and teaches internationally about spiritual and ancient wisdom practices that are honed to assist us at this critical time in world history. Her latest book, Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Jewish Trauma (Monkfish, 2019) is the recipient of the 2020 Nautilus Book Award Gold in Psychology and the Jewish Women’s Caucus of the Association for Women in Psychology 2020 book award.
