Explore how inherited family trauma from the lives of your parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents can impact your life – even if you’re unaware of its origins. Wolynn explains that unresolved emotional wounds from previous generations can be passed down as emotional legacies encoded in our gene expression and everyday language, influencing our behaviors, fears, and health, often subconsciously. He offers case studies on how these inherited traumas manifest and provides diagnostic self-inventories to help uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through your everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Wolynn includes exercises like developing a genogram or extended family tree that creates a map of experiences going back through the generations, and uses visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue to create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming your life and health.
