  Jun 16, 202654 minS6

  Can researching your family tree actually heal generational trauma? In this episode 9595 of The Mental Wellness Practice Podcast, Dr. Shainna chats with professional genealogist Mica L. Anders , founder of Anders Genealogical Services, to explore the powerful intersection of genealogy, ancestral research, and generational healing. Together, Dr. Shainna and Mica unpack how tracing your ancestry can surface the inherited patterns, beliefs, and blocks that shape your present-day mental wellness, and how the act of uncovering family stories becomes a form of generational reclamation. The conversation draws on epigenetics, lived clinical experience, and Mica's expertise to show why understanding your lineage is not just historical, it’s healing. Whether you are a clinician integrating generational healing into your practice, someone navigating inherited trauma, or simply curious about your family's story, this episode offers a practical and compassionate roadmap.
