Cycle breaker: a guide to
Transcending childhood trauma
“Being a cycle breaker means you are the person in your ancestral line who puts an end to destructive intergenerational patterns. You are the courageous one who recognizes that how you were raised was harmful to you, and you don’t want to repeat the same patterns in your life.”

What if there was a way to live a meaningful and peaceful adult life – even after a childhood where you felt unseen, unheard, and disrespected? -
What if there was a way for you to recover your sense of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-love? -
What if it were possible to let go of the anger and resentment you feel towards those who hurt you, would you? -
Are you ready to transcend your wounding from the past and live with authenticity?

Praise for Mindi Kessler and Cycle Breaker
Now when I read this powerful work, which follows her own personal path through pervasive relational trauma, I understand trauma more deeply than ever before. I am certain that if professionals had read it years ago they would not have minimized or questioned the impact of trauma on human development.
– Dr. Dan Hughes, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
I loved this book so much! I had the pleasure of working with Mindi after reading this book and I can tell you that this work is powerful. Reading the book allowed me to feel seen and heard in ways I could never have imagined! I recommend it to anyone who is reparenting themselves or interested in diving deeper into their own personal healing journey.

We all have stories which we carry inside us often hindering growth into our wisest, healthiest, happiest selves. Dr Kessler shares her own story with openness and grace, gently guiding us to untangle our own shackles through simple science based analysis, patient stories and personal anecdotes. A book to cherish at first read and continuously learn from after that.
