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

5.0

Emotional Inheritance is a beautiful, illuminating, and transformative book. While everyone is carrying generational trauma somehow, secrets that are passed down, and hidden histories, this book focuses on the big and the small. Dr. Galit Atlas takes you along with incredible stories of her patients, sharing the hard things they have been dealing with. She gives them space to process their families' trauma and gives them courage and permission to grieve. Through stories of the Holocaust, Israeli Veterans, loss, love, and forgotten memories, Dr. Atlas encouraged us to understand, feel, and grow.

Everyone can benefit from this book regardless of if you have known trauma, religious trauma, or dark family secrets.
