It was discussed as a new way to understand ourselves and how trauma can be passed down through generations, both biologically and through unspoken family stories.
Dr. Galit Atlas is a psychoanalyst and clinical supervisor in private practice in New York City. Her new book, Emotional Inheritance was published in January and is already being translated into 17 languages.
And I think my research and the emotional inheritance book, as you know, is about an intermingling of nature and nurture because the epigenetic research can tell us something really important about how the expression of genes and how what we carry from generation to generation.
I talk in the book, for example, and I share my own experiences. My mother lost her brother when she was 10 years old and he was 14. In my family, there is a fear of water.
I call it secrets we keep from ourselves in the book, right? Secrets are many things. Some of them are things that we don't know about and nobody told us. And some of it are things we keep in some isolated place in our minds.
Everybody go get Emotional Inheritance. It's good, fascinating stuff. And it should be a TV show.
