THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
'A powerful, lucid, deeply empathic exploration of the legacy of generational trauma' Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance
'Atlas's heady and beautiful book offers much insight, as well as tools for beginning to unpack the stories we're living, stories that aren't actually ours to live' Oprah Daily
Past family trauma can keep us unconsciously connected to the past. It shapes our lives in ways we don't always recognise and can keep us from living to our full potential.
In this transformative book, award-winning psychoanalyst Dr Galit Atlas draws back the veil on the legacy of intergenerational trauma. Entwining the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades of research, she shows how the people we love and those who raised us live inside us - how we take on their emotional pain - and she helps 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 futures.
