A memoir of generational trauma and healing!

What if the fear living in your body did not start with you?
Some wounds travel through generations, shaping the way we think, feel, and respond without us even realizing where they began. Breaking the Line explores family history, generational trauma, and the courage to understand what has been carried forward.

In Breaking the Line, Rebecca Dixon Beasley traces three centuries of inherited trauma through her own family, from a young bride crossing the Atlantic in 1714 to a modern woman in a hospital gown confronting cancer, job loss, and her mother's death in rapid succession. Weaving raw, intimate memoir with the science of epigenetics and intergenerational trauma, she reveals how wars, famines, abuse, secrecy, and silence left chemical marks on the genes of each generation, shaping nervous systems long before the next child drew breath. This is not theory. It is rooms and bodies, grandmothers ground down by shame, mothers trained in perfectionism, and a girl who learned to read danger before she could read words.

Part memoir, part science, part guided practice, Breaking the Line offers:

- A deeply personal map of how generational trauma travels through families, bodies, and beliefs

- Accessible science connecting epigenetics, nervous system regulation, and inherited stress patterns

- End of chapter exercises to help you begin uncovering and rewriting your own inherited story

If you have underlined passages in The Body Keeps the Score or What My Bones Know, this book was written for you. Breaking the cycle is not about erasing the past. It is about offering your body, your cells, and your lineage a new possibility: the possibility that you are allowed to be safe.

If you're planning to join our next session, now is the perfect time to start Breaking the Line: A memoir of generational trauma and healing......

Nothing feels better than being part of a discussion and knowing every twist.
