It Didn't Start With You

Groundbreaking Tara Brach

Depression, anxiety, chronic pain, phobias, and obsessive thoughts may have roots in the traumas of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest research affirms that traumatic experiences are passed on to future generations, and this emotional inheritance, evident in everything from our gene expression to everyday language, plays a significant role in our health.

Building on the work of leading experts in neuroscience and post-traumatic stress, Mark Wolynn has developed a pioneering approach to identifying and breaking these inherited family patterns. Having worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for more than twenty years, "It Didn't Start With You" is his accessible, pragmatic, and transformative guide to a method that has helped thousands of people reclaim their lives.
