Healing the Family Line: How Genealogical Regression Transforms Ancestral Trauma

What if the challenges you’re facing didn’t begin with you—or even with a past life—but much further up your family tree? In Part 1 of this conversation from the Ancestral Healing Summit, hypnotherapist Shelley Kaehr shares how genealogical regression emerged organically from years of past-life work and why it can be one of the most powerful healing tools available today.Drawing from her book Heal Your Ancestors, Shelley explains how unresolved trauma, loss, and hardship carried by ancestors can echo through generations—and how bringing light, compassion, and awareness to those source events can create profound shifts in the present.In this episode, you’ll learn:* How genealogical regression differs from traditional past-life regression* Why many personal struggles trace back to ancestral, not individual, experiences* What kinds of emotional, physical, and spiritual healing can emerge from this work* How imagination, guided imagery, and intuition open the door to ancestral insight* Why healing the past can ripple forward through time—transforming families across generationsThis is a grounded, expansive exploration of ancestral healing that bridges psychology, spirituality, and lived experience—offering a powerful reframe for anyone seeking deeper understanding and lasting change.Visit Shelley’s author page on Amazon here.Check out Shelley’s course at The Shift Network here.Lisa Bonnice is an award-winning author, podcaster, and former stand-up comic whose work blends humor, heart, and spiritual depth.
