About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Depression. Anxiety. Chronic pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the root of these difficulties may reside in the traumas of our parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. The latest research affirms that traumatic experience is passed on to future generations and that this emotional inheritance, hidden in everything from our gene expression to everyday language, plays a greater role in our health than ever previously understood.

Building on the work of leading experts in neuroscience and posttraumatic stress, Mark Wolynn has developed a pioneering approach to identifying and breaking these inherited family patterns. Having worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for more than twenty years, It Didn't Start with You is his accessible, pragmatic and transformative guide to a method that has helped thousands of people reclaim their lives.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I got recommended this book by my friend. she knows that I'm always on the search to finding and getting to know myself as good as possible. If you're not ready to grow don't listen to this. this book is a great tool to discover more about yourself and your family. I unearthed issues in my own life from way back I wasn't even consciously aware off. This won't be the last time I've listened to this. it's a treasure.

Best book for getting to know yourself and others
