Wounds Into Wisdom
Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma
Join us as we show you how to integrate Intergenerational Trauma healing to therapy sessions. Broaden your healing perspective, expand your clinical skills––and learn how to address deeply-rooted patterns of inherited trauma with wisdom, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.
Includes live calls, small group practicums, PLUS a bonus demo session!
- Our first LIVE session starts on May 1, 2024!
How can an understanding of our intergenerational trauma history help us become better therapists?
Every day we work with clients who face mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, shame, or relationship difficulties.
And many of these clients also have a family history of similar challenges. Even so, we often treat their trauma as if it’s confined to their individual experiences.
But what if the key to healing is understanding trauma as part of an extended ancestral legacy?
By focusing solely on a client’s personal history, we may overlook the broader context of their family and cultural background, where specific circumstances and experiences often hold the key to understanding trauma’s origins and unlocking deeper healing.
While our clients may be unaware of how their family history shaped their current patterns and issues, as therapists, we can help them to uncover these connections.
But to support our clients effectively, we must first examine how inherited trauma has shaped our own lives—building self-awareness and resilience that equips us to help our clients make sense of their past and who they are today.
When we model the process of healing, we empower our clients to break free from painful cycles and transform their wounds into sources of strength and wisdom.
To truly hold space for our clients, we must first do our own inner work. When we take the time to explore our own family histories and inherited trauma with curiosity and compassion, something powerful happens:
- You see the ways your ancestors’ experiences have shaped your own life, helping you make sense of your struggles in a new light.
- You can approach your clients’ struggles with greater understanding and empathy.
- Knowing you’ve done the work for yourself, you can create a space where clients feel safe to express vulnerable emotions without fear of judgment.
- You can help clients’ contextualize their pain and empower them to break the cycles of trauma for themselves and future generations.
The good news is, any practitioner can learn these deeply transformative skills.
In this program, you’ll master a unique therapeutic approach, equipped with powerful and practical tools to guide clients as they explore ancestral trauma and move towards a more joyful and fulfilling life.
“Trauma changes us in permanent ways. But we have a choice about the outcome of our story. We can bemoan our fate as victims… or we can recognize our pain and follow the circumstances of our lives into unforeseen directions and new meanings.
We can ask: What does this terrible wound inspire me to do that I would never have thought to do otherwise?”
– Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone
Equip yourself with tools and techniques that address complex issues, build resilience, and prevent the transmission of trauma to future generations.
- Help your clients identify trauma patterns and lasting “imprints“ from previous generations, empowering them to address legacy challenges and reshape their lives with greater awareness and self-determination.
- Reinforce a sense of safety by expanding your clinical repertoire with techniques that help clients tune into bodily sensations and emotional responses—allowing them to recognize early signs of dysregulation and manage their emotions more effectively.
- Guide clients in their healing journey by helping them explore and embrace their unique gifts and strengths using ancestral practices, which encourages them to honor their ancestors’ lives, release judgement, and practice greater self-compassion.
- Teach your clients how to understand their own minds and emotions better through the lens of depth psychology—enabling them to navigate their inner experiences with greater clarity and insight for deeper healing and growth.
- Refine your therapeutic approach by exploring the role of epigenetic science and cultural trauma in shaping client experiences, and discover how environmental stressors and historical events influence gene expression.
- Practice embodied exercises, guided meditations, and ritual practices to deepen your spiritual connection and personal healing, while also contributing to the well-being of your clients, family, community, and the world at large.

Wounds Into Wisdom
Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma
Featuring Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone and Dr. Diane Poole Heller
Equip yourself with tools and techniques that address deeply-rooted patterns of inherited trauma. Build resilience and prevent the transmission of trauma to future generations.
- Enrollment is OPEN until April 30, 2024
Here’s What We’ll Cover In The Next 6 Months
Includes LIVE teaching, experiential exercises, ancestral witnessing, guided practices and meditations, and Genogram mapping—PLUS four “Small Group Practicums with Tirzah” sessions—so you can feel more capable, confident, and effective in treating even your most challenging clients.
All LIVE monthly sessions meet online via Zoom for 2 hours (dates listed below)
MONTH 1: Wednesday, May 1, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
Foundations: Depth Psychology and the Journey to Wholeness
We begin our exploration of intergenerational trauma healing by examining ourselves, our families, and our ancestral roots. This month’s training introduces you to key concepts of intergenerational healing and the layered model of the psyche as explained in Depth Psychology.
We’ll also explore the concept of entelechy—a principle that suggests that each individual possesses an inner “wholeness,” much like a seed holds a blueprint for a tree. Throughout our discussion, we’ll focus on how trauma (both personal and collective) can disrupt our connection to this inner potential.
Using this framework, we can begin to understand trauma in different contexts and learn to recognize its origins as a way to help our clients restore and reconnect to their innate sense of self.
- Gain a deeper understanding of your own experiences, family dynamics, and ancestral roots as a foundation for exploring intergenerational trauma healing with your clients.
- Learn how to tailor this powerful approach in therapy sessions––and help clients connect with their innate potential for wholeness and healing.
- Understand how personal, ancestral, and collective traumas are interconnected, so you can guide clients to recognize and address their inherited wounds.
- Explore the concept of the latent self and how trauma can disrupt innate potential, so you can guide yourself and your clients to rediscover their inner strengths and resilience.
- Wednesday, June 5, 2024 @ 11 am-12 pm MT
Small Group Practicum #1 with Tirzah
MONTH 2: Tuesday, June 18, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
The Unconscious as a Potent Realm of Healing
The metaphor of the iceberg is often used to describe the conscious and unconscious mind, with the bulk of our mental and emotional processing taking place below the level of our awareness.
During this month’s session, we’ll start above the surface, as we continue to refine our definitions of trauma and learn to recognize the tell-tale signs of individual, intergenerational, and collective wounding.
Then, we’ll address the depths of the unconscious mind, where we’ll begin to explore the connections we all share with our ancestors. Using the work of Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and James Henderson, and the powerful healing space of the “Imaginal Realm,” you’ll discover new possibilities for healing and connection.
- Explore how personal trauma can be connected to and influenced by the experiences of previous generations and cultural backgrounds.
- Discover how to identify the four hallmarks of “trauma residue”—the lingering effects of traumatic experiences that can manifest in both individuals and groups long after the initial event has occurred.
- Learn to distinguish between individual, collective, and ancestral trauma, and experience firsthand how exercises using the “Imaginal Realm” can facilitate discovery, reflection and be central to healing inherited wounds.
MONTH 3: Tuesday, July 16, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
Trauma and the Phenomenon of Intergenerational Transmission
In recent years, the term ‘trauma’ has become increasingly popular, raising awareness and giving a voice to those affected. However, overuse of the term can cause many of us to confuse and dilute its meaning.
In this month’s training, we’ll explore the field of epigenetic science in the context of trauma, which studies how external influences and environmental factors can modify gene expression––including how these changes can be inherited across generations, affecting thought patterns, behaviors, and emotions.
Finally, you’ll also have an opportunity to examine your own ancestral history to consider how your family’s past experiences and traumas may have shaped your own beliefs, behaviors, and emotional responses… providing insights for personal growth and healing.
- Learn to recognize the ways that inherited trauma can affect our physical health, behavior patterns, and emotional well-being.
- Discover how trauma can be inherited across generations through epigenetic changes, and learn to identify the distinct characteristics of this kind of intergenerational trauma compared to other forms of inherited trauma.
- Gain a deeper understanding of how collective trauma influences cultural narratives so you feel confident when working with clients with diverse backgrounds.
- Explore your own ancestral legacies to open new pathways for personal growth and healing, so that you may offer the same support to your clients.
- Wednesday, July 23, 2024 @ 11 am-12 pm MT
Small Group Practicum #2 with Tirzah
MONTH 4: Tuesday, August 20, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
Ancestral Legacies as a Practitioner’s Tool: The Wide-Angle Lens of Historical Context
When we understand the context of our ancestors’ experiences, including their racial, socio-political, and economic struggles, we can develop compassion for the traumas they may have endured––an empathy that opens us up to appreciate their resilience and learn from the strategies they used to cope.
This month, you’ll go deeper into your own ancestral history as you build (and review) a Genogram, or multigenerational family tree. This activity opens up new perspectives and paths for personal healing––while reinforcing new skills to help clients with their own mapping and inquiry into their inherited wounds.
- Discover how to acknowledge and honor your ancestors’ experiences, which will deepen your compassion and empathy for the struggles they endured, strengthening your connection to them.
- Learn how mapping your family Genogram can reveal recurring patterns, unresolved trauma, and offer insights on family dynamics that inform your therapeutic approach with clients.
- Explore the strategies your ancestors used to cope with their experiences, allowing you to draw from their wisdom and resilience––so you can teach clients to do the same.
- Practice skills that help you gain a deeper understanding of your clients’ hidden family dynamics and unresolved issues—empowering them to break the cycle for future generations.
- Wednesday, September 11, 2024 @ 11 am-12 pm MT
Small Group Practicum #3 with Tirzah
MONTH 5: Tuesday, September 17, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
Professional Skills to Incorporate Intergenerational Healing Into Our Practices
Just as with any trauma work, exploring family histories and ancestral wounding can activate nervous system dysregulation in both the client and therapist. Discussing painful family experiences and uncovering intergenerational patterns of trauma can bring up intense emotions or bodily sensations.
For this reason, it’s essential for therapists to develop (and practice) a deeper awareness of their reactions during sessions, including techniques for grounding and centering while simultaneously monitoring and adjusting to our clients’ nervous system responses.
In this month’s training, you’ll learn skills and techniques to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment that promotes co-regulation and healing while safeguarding your own well-being and preventing vicarious trauma.
- Learn how to navigate unexpected reactions that may surface in both you and your clients as you explore the epigenetic legacies of your ancestors.
- Learn how to apply techniques that co-regulate the nervous system, manage stress, and restore calm—empowering you to stay present when clients feel overwhelmed, so you can help them feel safe and grounded.
- Gain confidence in addressing ancestral trauma by practicing guided meditations, visualizations, and other techniques that enable you to hold a safe space for clients to process difficult emotions.
- Tuesday, September 24, 2024 @ 11 am-12:30 pm MT
Demo & Debrief Workshop with Diane
- Tuesday, October 15, 2024 @ 11 am-12 pm MT
Small Group Practicum #4 with Tirzah
MONTH 6: Tuesday, October 22, 2024 @ 11 am-1 pm MT
Incorporating Ritual, Dreamwork, and Active Imagination in a Clinical Setting
In our last session, we revisit the Depth Psychology approach to healing––this time focusing on repairing our connection to our hidden inner wisdom to guide our therapeutic work. We’ll revisit the core principles of ancestral healing and explore how they can inspire personal growth and healing across generations.
As we continue to practice techniques, including guided meditations and imaginative rituals, you’ll have an opportunity to reflect on the unique strengths and gifts you have developed as a facilitator and guide in intergenerational trauma healing.
This final module will not only reinforce your new skills, but also provide you with ongoing tools and techniques that you can integrate into your practice, supporting deeper healing for complex cases.
- We’ll review the five core concepts of ancestral healing and hone our ability to create a therapeutic space that helps you tune into your clients’ unspoken needs.
- Learn how to facilitate guided meditations and ancestral witnessing in therapy sessions, so your clients can explore their feelings, find meaning in their ancestors’ experiences, and move towards deeper healing.
- We’ll continue to practice techniques for grounding and nervous system regulation that allow you to safely guide clients as they access their inner wisdom and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Join our global learning community––and learn how to apply new skills, strategies, and exercises to your personal and professional life.

Meet Your Instructors
Our task is to excavate the old traumas, the unhealed wounds, and bring them into the light of consciousness where they can be met with compassion, understanding, and finally, integration.
This is the path to inner wholeness and freedom.
Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone, PhD is a distinguished author, Jungian psychotherapist, and renowned religious scholar and teacher. Her approach to therapy is deeply rooted in the integration of depth psychology with spiritual and ancestral wisdom practices to address and heal intergenerational trauma.
Rabbi Tirzah lectures and teaches internationally on a variety of topics, including collective trauma, feminine wisdom tradition, and Jewish mysticism.
In all of these topics, her emphasis is on honing ancient wisdom practices to assist us at this critical time in world history.
Rabbi Dr. Firestone is also the author of the award-winning book, Wounds into Wisdom: Healing Intergenerational Jewish Trauma, which explores the transformation of inherited traumas into wisdom, courage, and compassion.
This groundbreaking work employs interviews, case studies, and her own autobiographical narratives to demonstrate how trauma residue passes from generation to generation—and how individuals and families can navigate and heal from the complex legacies of their past.
For more information, you can visit her website: Tirzah Firestone.
Therapists play a crucial role in guiding individuals through their unique challenges, including the deep-seated effects of intergenerational trauma.
By understanding the origins and hidden consequences of these ancestral wounds, we can support our clients as they work to leave the pain of the past behind and embrace a legacy of healing.
Diane Poole Heller PhD, is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and teaching expert in the field of adult attachment theory and trauma resolution.
Her signature approach—DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-patterning experience)—provides therapists and individuals with relevant skills and practical exercises that facilitate healing from attachment and trauma wounds.
Her work with adult attachment has forged a path for adults with childhood attachment injuries to develop Secure Attachment Skills (SAS) that lead to more connected and fulfilling adult relationships. Through various training programs, books, lectures and her own work as a clinical therapist, Dr. Heller has helped a countless number of people in their healing journey towards experiencing greater intimacy, wholeness and more fulfilling relationships.
She believes that when we heal ourselves first, we heal our families, our communities and the world as a whole.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can we help you?
No you do not. While most of the people who join the Therapy Mastermind Circle membership are both novices and experienced practitioners, we do sometimes have non-therapists join us as we explore a variety of in-depth topics on a monthly basis.
Since this particular cohort includes small group practice breakout sessions and experiential teaching, we do encourage any non-therapists who choose to join us to have therapeutic support in place, as the material covered during our time together is not meant as a substitute for therapy. If you are currently working with a mental health professional, we encourage you to invite them to join this program as well.
This topic is highly relevant for psychologists, therapists, and other mental health and behavioral professionals such as life coaches, bodywork practitioners, counselors, who work with clients and patients in a professional or clinical setting—and who work with the nuances and complexities of intergenerational trauma.
Each monthly live session will be streamed live via Zoom online on Tuesdays. Additionally, you’ll be able to submit questions each week through the private course portal and during the live session, which includes time for Q&A.
Every call will be recorded and stored inside the private course portal, so you may review it at your own pace. However, we highly recommend you attend live so you don’t miss live teaching.
Therapy Mastermind Circle is an annual program with rotating 6-month topics. You have lifetime access to the learning portal and materials for every 6-month topic you complete, including videos, transcripts, worksheets, exercises and bonuses. You may also download or print the materials at any time to your professional reference library. In the interest of privacy, demo videos may never be downloaded.
If you cancel your membership to Therapy Mastermind Circle before completing the current 6-month topic, you will have 30 days—from the time you give notice of your cancellation—to download the materials for your personal use. The current membership rate is $77/month, which will be applied as long as you continue your membership. If you cancel your membership at any time and rejoin the program at a later date or topic—monthly rates may be subject to change.
We would love to have you join each session live, but if you are unable to do so, that’s ok—all sessions and training calls (including the Q&A) are recorded and stored in your professional reference library, so you can still receive the information and coaching you need.
Additionally, the program materials (including audio recording, video recordings and transcript from each session) are yours to download and keep in your professional reference library. This will be useful for some sessions that you will want to listen to or watch more than once.
Plus, you can always submit a question via Kajabi (the learning portal) outside of the live sessions. It’s a great place to ask questions, share insights and get support from Dr. Firestone or Dr. Heller and your colleagues at any time.
The LIVE, ONLINE sessions for this course have been approved for a total of 12 CE credit hours. If you are a licensed clinical professional counselor or a licensed social worker—you may purchase these CE credits for an additional fee of $89 via our website.
CE credits must be purchased by the beginning of the last live session—October 22, 2024. Attendance will be taken to verify eligibility.
Upon completion of the program, you will be sent an activity evaluation link, which must be completed within 60 days after the last program session (by Saturday, December 21, 2024). Upon completion of the activity evaluation, participants can print their certificate or statement of credit immediately.
Also, a Certificate of Completion is available to all students at the end of the course upon request at no additional charge.
Note: It is the participants responsibility to check their individual state boards to verify CE requirements for their state. For detailed information regarding CEs, please contact our Customer Support Team.
We do offer a limited number of partial scholarships for students who attend an accredited university. Reduced enrollment rates are also available for those with limited resources in countries defined as low and lower middle income by the World Bank. Please contact us for more information.
If you have additional questions or need technical support, please contact our Customer Support Team for help.
We’re confident this program will be a valuable investment in your education, personal growth and clinical practice.
If for any reason you decide to withdraw, simply contact our Customer Support Team in writing on or before Friday, May 31, 2024. Refunds will be issued in the same form of payment made, and may take up to four weeks to process.
