Award-winning psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas draws on her patients'  stories—and her own life experiences—to shed light on how generational  trauma affects our lives; "intimate, textured, compassionate" (Jon  Kabat-Zinn, author of The Healing Power of Mindfulness).
The people  we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their  emotional pain, we dream their memories, and these things shape our  lives in ways we don’t always recognize. Emotional Inheritance is about  family secrets that keep us from living to our full potential, create  gaps between what we want for ourselves and what we are able to have,  and haunt us like ghosts.
 
In this transformative book, Galit  Atlas entwines the stories of her patients, her own stories, and decades  of research to help us identify the links between our life struggles  and the “emotional inheritance” we all carry. For it is only by  following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change our  destiny.
