"A groundbreaking approach to understanding and healing inherited trauma."

Depression. Anxiety. Chronic pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. These struggles may not stem solely from your life experiences or chemical imbalances in the brain. Recent scientific research reveals that trauma can be passed down through generations, leaving emotional and physical imprints on descendants.

In It Didn’t Start With You, acclaimed expert Mark Wolynn explores the fascinating connection between inherited family trauma and its profound impact on our lives. Drawing on groundbreaking research from leaders in post-traumatic stress and neuroscience, Wolynn sheds light on how trauma is encoded in everything from gene expression to the language we use daily—and how these hidden legacies influence our health and well-being.

This transformative book offers:

• The Core Language Approach: A diagnostic method to uncover fears and anxieties rooted in family trauma.
• Self-Inventories and Genograms: Tools to trace your family's emotional legacy and map generations of experiences.
• Healing Techniques: Guided visualizations, active imagination, and dialogue exercises to integrate and resolve inherited pain.

Whether the trauma originates from a long-lost ancestor or a forgotten story, It Didn’t Start With You provides powerful tools to break free from its hold, reclaim your life, and heal for future generations.
