Publisher Description

A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field
 
Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.
 
As a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over twenty years. It Didn’t Start with You offers a pragmatic and prescriptive guide to his method, the Core Language Approach. Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Techniques for developing a genogram or extended family tree create a map of experiences going back through the generations. And visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming life and health. It Didn’t Start With You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that in many cases, traditional therapy, drugs, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch.

very interesting

This book was extremely interesting to me. Not your average self help book about how to be. but rather why you are here and why you may be feeling what you’re feeling! It’s a book that makes you stop and put the puzzle of yourself and your ancestors together. I highly recommend it if you are looking to go a little deeper with your emotion.

I purchased this book to read on my apple products. It does not let me open it on my MacBook Pro or iPad because it says I need to purchase it again. The Author or who they work with decided to change so much of the book that now its considered a new book. Save your money. It is ashame because I was enjoying the book.

Great reading, it’s sad it isn’t available in spanish…

Love the versitality of this app, but it’s sad that great books like this don’t be available in other languages. I could read this, but I would prefer to have it in spanish, since that is my native language…
