Healing the Inherited Wounds of History with Thomas Huebl

What if the pain you feel isn’t just your own, but also echoes of your ancestors, your culture, and your nation?In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, spiritual teacher and trauma researcher Thomas Huebl unpacks the differences between personal trauma, ancestral trauma, and collective trauma — and how all three are shaping our lives today. From attachment wounds in childhood, to the unprocessed legacies of war and genocide, to the frozen societal structures that uphold racism and injustice, he shows us how these layers interconnect.We explore:* How ancestral trauma is passed down biologically, emotionally, and socially* Why collective trauma creates “frozen” structures in society that resist change* The relationship between avoidance, perpetration, and refusal to see* How turning toward pain — rather than away — can begin restoration* What it means to create trauma-informed systems in education, justice, medicine, and governanceThomas reminds us that while the work is difficult, there is growing willingness worldwide to face these wounds together. Healing isn’t only personal — it’s cultural, systemic, and generational.Visit his website at thomashuebl.comLisa Bonnice is an award-winning author, podcaster, and former stand-up comic whose work blends humor, heart, and spiritual depth.
