Learn how healing trauma can empower us to reclaim resilience and transform our world.

Too often, we assume that our trauma is an individual wound, and that we can only heal it through individual work. In truth, our trauma is shaped by so much more than our own experience—we’re impacted by ancestral trauma from previous generations as well as collective trauma from the world around us.

Beloved teachers Thomas Hübl and Richard Schwartz bring together their wisdom to chart a new path forward that addresses all of these sources of pain, so we can heal ourselves and also our communities and world.

In this powerful collaboration, Hübl and Schwartz help us understand why individual trauma cannot be separated from the legacies of shared past and present traumas. Each author offers an overview of their healing modality and how they work together.

Together, they teach methods and practices that help us begin to release beliefs and emotions that no longer serve us, break cycles of harm, expand our awareness, and become more compassionate and curious as we heal.

"Releasing Our Burdens is a deeply integrative work that resonates with the truth that trauma does not live only in the individual, but in families, communities, and cultures. Richard Schwartz and Thomas Hübl offer an accessible roadmap for healing that honors both the psychological and somatic dimensions of trauma. Their collaboration is a gift to the growing field of trauma recovery."

“Releasing Our Burdens is a lantern that illuminates the complex path of healing layered trauma. This book is a living companion, offering an intentional interweaving of individual, ancestral, and collective healing. With compassion and depth, it gently guides readers through the heavy terrains of emotional pain, reminding us that both personal and collective integration are indeed possible.”

"There’s a revelation in these pages that speaks directly to our moment: healing is not only personal. It is collective, ancestral, and spiritual. It is the work of reconnection. For those beginning to understand that our burdens are shared and that healing must be communal, this is a necessary guide. Written with the steady, compassionate wisdom we’ve come to expect from these practitioners, this book invites us into a journey of reflection, one that gently asks: What am I carrying, and how might I return to the whole?"
