Emotional Inheritance

Moving Beyond the Legacy of Trauma

De: Galit Atlas

Narrado por: Galit Atlas

"Galit Atlas deftly shows why the hurts and stuckness that can plague us can be faced and, yes, dissolved. Contemporary psychoanalysis at its best." - Susie Orbach, author of Fat Is a Feminist Issue

Past family trauma can keep us unconsciously connected to the past. It shapes our lives in ways we don't always recognise, and can keep us from living to our full potential.

In this transformative book, award-winning psychoanalyst Dr Galit Atlas draws back the veil on the legacy of intergenerational trauma. Entwining the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades of research, she shows how the people we love and those who raised us live inside us - how we take on their emotional pain - and she helps us identify the links between our life struggles and the 'emotional inheritance' we all carry. For it is only by following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change our destiny.©2022 Galit Atlas (P)2022 Octopus Publishing Group

Wow, what a book!

This is an amazing book. It is like finally opening a toolbox with right tools to mend past trauma. A gateway to starting therapy if I ever saw one. Highly recommend!

The book is ok, the narrator is awful

The book psychoeducate about trauma through a bit of theory and some examples from the author's experience as a therapist. The stories are to many, and too superficially narrated to be an outstanding book, but it's not a bad book. it's just ok. the narrator, on the contrary, is a sheer nightmare.
