A Holistic Approach

In addition to traditional therapeutic techniques, Jessica Baker utilizes the creation of client-generated ritual to transform generational trauma through symbolic practices that allow acknowledgement and processing of pain. Our North American culture has very little intentional, communal ways to move through threshold experiences involving a beginning, middle, and end. These ritual activities can provide a structured way for clients to honor the past, express emotion, and create new, transforming narratives. By creating and engaging in these meaningful-to-the-client events they can release the grip of carried trauma, foster connection, and interrupt the cycle.
