The Emotional Inheritance Workbook

Praise for Dr. Galit Atlas and Emotional Inheritance:

"An intimate, textured, and compassionate exploration of intergenerational trauma, how it is carried and transmitted within families, and how it can be skillfully invited in, recognized, attenuated, and perhaps resolved through the therapeutic relationship, metabolizing what has hitherto not been named or nameable."âJon Kabat-Zinn, author of The Healing Power of Mindfulness

"A gem for anyone, but it is an essential read for those seeking to understand trauma, therapy, and the healing process."âBruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, coauthor (with Oprah Winfrey) of the #1 New York Times bestseller What Happened to You?

"Atlas's heady and beautiful book offers much insight, as well as tools for beginning to unpack the stories we're living, stories that aren't actually ours to live."âOprah Daily

"Dr. Atlas writes with profound living compassion for those who have carried, in their bodies, minds, hearts, spirits and souls, the most often unspoken and secret traumas of their own hurt elders."âDr. Clarissa Pinkola Est©s Rey©s, author of Women Who Run with the Wolves

"An illuminating book. The stories Dr. Atlas shares reveal the potency of our inherited wounds, showing how the experiences of our ancestors shape our lives in quiet but far-reaching ways, and how we all have the potential to heal."âLori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone

"A powerful, lucid, deeply empathic exploration of the legacy of generational trauma, Emotional Inheritance makes clear that Galit Atlas is not only a gifted psychoanalyst, but a gifted writer as well. I loved this book and was stirred by it."âDani Shapiro, author of Inheritance

"Insightful, perceptive, and provocative-but also tender, touching, and personal. Dr. Atlas uses ordinary language to explain how we are born with psychological legacies that we cannot escape, but which we can, with her help, understand."âJuliet Rosenfeld, author of The State of Disbelief
