Dr Mariel Buqué

Dr Mariel Buqué is a psychologist, professor, and holistic healing practitioner. She is a sought-after expert and commentator in the field of intergenerational trauma.

In her first book, Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma, Buqué offers a ground-breaking guide to passing on strength, not pain, to those you love. When a physical wound is left unhealed, it continues to cause pain and can infect the whole body. When emotions are left unhealed, they similarly cause harm that spreads to other parts of our lives, hurting our family, friends, and colleagues. Eventually, this hurt spreads further, affecting entire communities and families across generations. This is intergenerational trauma, and it can lead us to become people-pleasers, co-dependent in relationships and even estranged from our families.

Weaving her own experiences and scientific research with her clients’ journeys and expert findings, Buqué reveals how to pass on strength, not pain, to those you love.
