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

emotional reflective slow-paced

3.0

It went from interesting to heavy real fast. A lot of extreme examples of trauma. A lot of feeling like I may have ruined my children with my own stress as a mother with NO insight or instruction in how my own healing may or may not impact my living children. It’s very one note as far as focusing on finding out what happened to your ancestors and offering what they need—but no information for the future. I found it to be heavy and left wondering if it was useful at all for my specific situation. I can’t say I would recommend it.
