It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle

This groundbreaking book offers a compelling understanding of inherited trauma and fresh, powerful tools for relieving its suffering.

A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field. The evidence is compelling: the roots of our 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 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. Mark Wolynn does a masterful job of illuminating the ways in which our ancestors’ unresolved suffering, often unknown to us, disables us and binds us painfully to them. He gives us the tools and skills—an approach that combines understanding, imaginative dialogues, and compassionate reconnection—to free and heal ourselves.
