Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma | Galit Atlas

2 posts | 2 read | 6 to read

Dr. Galit Atlas, an internationally known psychoanalyst, draws on the emotional power of her patients' stories and her own life experiences to illuminate the extraordinary ways in which inherited family trauma affects our lives. The people we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, and these things shape our lives in ways we don't always recognize. Emotional Inheritance is about family secrets that keep us from living to our full potential, create gaps between what we want for ourselves and what we are able to have, and haunt us like ghosts. In this transformative book, Galit Atlas entwines the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades of research to help 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.

Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma | Galit Atlas

pick

Galit Atlas has married psychoanalysis with what feels like the magical world of emotional inheritance, in which ancestral trauma is passed down through generations. Except that the way in which we all know more than we think we do about our families and one another unconsciously is not magic, it is very real; as is the way in which processing the trauma can finally begin to heal and release it. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BirdLaVie “Our hope lies in the understanding that our emotional work has a profound effect on who we, our children, and our grandchildren will become. Trauma is transmitted through our minds and through our bodies, but so are resilience and healing.” 2mo

Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma | Galit Atlas

A book I read to understand some of the lineage of the language we use around and about trauma. Freuds legacy does a ton of harm, and psychoanalysis for primary form of trauma work continues that. I do love the presence and curiosity of the therapist, but ultimately, I can‘t get behind this professionally. If you enjoy reading accounts of other peoples therapy, you will likely really enjoy this as it‘s primarily vignettes.
