Why I Feel It's Important to Share My Journey

Hi, I'm Dr. Rachel Levitch, and I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of growing up in a dysfunctional family. For years, I carried the weight of emotional trauma, feeling like I was trapped in a cycle I couldn’t break. Scapegoating, toxic dynamics, and emotional neglect shaped my life in ways I didn’t even understand at the time. But over time, I realized that healing wasn’t just a dream—it was possible. Through deep self-reflection, therapy, and a commitment to change, I began to heal and break free from the chains of my past. That journey of transformation is one I feel called to share because I know others are going through similar struggles.

Sharing my story isn’t just about me—it’s about creating a space where others can feel seen, heard, and understood. When I was struggling, I didn’t always have someone to turn to who truly understood the depth of family trauma. I felt isolated, misunderstood, and unsure of how to move forward. That’s why I want to use *The Conversation* to open the door for others to share their stories too. It’s important to know that you're not alone, and your healing journey matters. By sharing my experiences, I hope to offer a sense of solidarity, hope, and encouragement for anyone who’s feeling trapped in their own cycle of family dysfunction.

The Breaking Generational Curses Pentalogy

As someone who has lived through the trauma of having Child Protective Services take your children, I understand firsthand how deep and lasting the scars can be. The pentalogy I wrote, *Breaking Generational Curses*, dives into the painful realities of family dynamics, systemic issues, and how they affect both parents and children. With insight into the root causes of generational trauma, this series takes readers and viewers on a journey of healing, empowerment, and hope. In this work, I explored the complex intersection between the emotional toll of family dysfunction and the systemic forces that often exacerbate these struggles, particularly in situations where children are removed from the home. The pentalogy became a source of solace and strength for many, offering practical advice and emotional support, while also shedding light on the broader social issues involved.

Dr. Rachael Robertson, a renowned expert in trauma and healing, played a pivotal role in this journey. Her insights on overcoming generational curses were a key influence in the creation of this work. With her guidance, I was able to integrate psychological research with real-life experiences to offer a more profound understanding of how trauma passes down through generations. Her work helped me understand the psychological underpinnings of family trauma, and her contribution was critical in shaping the pentalogy's powerful message of recovery. As a result, *Breaking Generational Curses* went on to touch the lives of many readers and listeners, eventually landing on the *Globe and Mail* Bestseller List. The success of this work wasn’t just in its commercial reach, but in the number of people who found solace, healing, and a path forward after years of emotional pain.
