lapetitepaola 's review for:
(Not a review just me keeping track ALSO IS KIND OF A SENSELESS RANT)
I have. . Mixed feelings. Part of tgis book was very interesting and the other part just had me skeptical...
Edit:
Alright so the thing about this is that he starts off talking about how we can inherit our parents and even grandparents trauma and explains it in a very scientific way. He also show a few studies done on it and explains how it happens. That all during the first half of the book. He also talks about how when we have a "break" in the bond with our parents (specially our mothers [enfasis on our mothers]) at an early age it affects us greatly, thus affecting out ability to feel emotionaly connected to them or some shit.
And it is all very interesting during this first half.
The second half is all about giving examples. And tbh, those examples kinda felt like the same shit over and over. The part were I have issues with this book is when he states that in order to heal and move on we NEED, we MUST forgive and heal our relationship with our parents. And he also states that we cant bypass that. So he basically shows you how some people have issues that started from their parents and then they learn about their parents trauma and finally heal. Listen... learning about my parents trauma is not always gonna heal what someone went through. And he does states that this is not necesarily the case for everyone. BUT he only mentions that ONCE.
... i lost my train of thought here, I'm sorry...
Anyways, I can see why a lot of people have issues with this book. I've read how many people feel uncomfortable with the authors insistance on that you MUST forgive and heal your relationships with your parents in order to move on. And I agree.
Also, I'm sort of skeptical about the atories he puts were a person replays the trauma or life pattern of an uncle or cousin. That doesnt fully makes sense to me. But I'll just pass that.
What ever the case the first part of the book was interesting and you shouldn't feel forced to heal the relationship with your parents if you are not comfortable with that.
