About this listen

 "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 Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Relationships Inspiring Emotions Health Mental Health

I liked the way it gives different perspectives on emotional subconscious heritage and how we are often unaware
It proves how often when trying to take away suffering from our children we give it to them instead.
Hits me hard both as a child and as an adult
No self loathing from the author that shares her own suffering with honesty which is really refreshing in these not too honest times

Very helpful for me

… I had learned about emotional inheritance some 25-30 years ago! I have listened with great interest to this audio book. The only thing that bothered me all the way through the book is the way it was read. The voice, the interpretation of the different patients’/clients’ voices made me cringe. It was, however the very interesting analysis of their troubles and/or traumas that kept me listening. I’ve decided that a hard copy of it is a must for me to learn more about myself.

I wish ..,

This was a fascinating listen. The case studies are so helpful in teaching how our inheritance plays out. In listening, I experienced a resonance that at times seemed beyond words. I have ordered the hardback version, too. The book is a must for all counsellors and therapists.

Exceptional

Really enjoyed reading this, will probably read again or buy paper copy. Voice was a bit slow for me so I listened at 1.3 speed and was perfect.

Great read lots of valuable reflection and insight
