EMBODY with Michelle Major
S3, Ep1: The Pain & Beauty of Intergenerational Trauma with Deirdre Nicole Heggarty
Welcome to Season 3 of EMBODY!
To celebrate the start of another season, Michelle, was joined by Deirdre Nicole Heggarty, a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist, specialising in Play Therapy. Prior to this, Deirdre, was a primary school teacher in Ireland and Abu Dhabi.
The theme of our conversation is intergenerational trauma.
It’s a powerful conversation about Deirdre’s adoption story as 3-month old baby; how her body held the trauma of this rupture; and how her body’s wisdom lead her to leave her teaching career and become a child-lead Psychotherapist.
We chat about how Deirdre repaired her early ruptures and how her own lived experience helps her to support families in her private practice in Donegal.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
If you'd like to get in touch with Deirdre her website is www.unlockirl.ie
Thanks for listening!
Follow me on Facebook or Instagram.
If you'd like to explore how my Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy can support you, please get in touch to book a free consultation.
Registration has now opened for our trauma-informed Certified Laughter Yoga Leader training in March. Click here to learn more and register.
Warmly,
Michelle xx
