Some of what is driving your personality, your fears, your patterns, your view of the world, did not come from your own life. It came down through the generations, from traumas that happened decades or even centuries before you were born. Dick Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, calls this a legacy burden. And healing it, it turns out, involves your ancestors. In this conversation, Dick Schwartz and Tamela Floyd bring together two streams of healing that are rarely seen in the same room: IFS and ancestral wisdom. Tamela, a psychotherapist and the first Black person to become an IFS trainer, works with clients across their four primary ancestral lines, helping them identify where legacy burdens came from and inviting the ancestors who also carry them into the healing. Dick describes watching clients see scenes in their inner work that clearly did not come from their own lives. Following those scenes led him deeper and deeper into the territory of intergenerational trauma. The core idea is both simple and profound. Your parts are not the problem. What they are carrying is. And some of what they are carrying was never yours to begin with. Want to go deeper? Join Sounds True One for more teachings like this.
