It Didn’t Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn

It Didn’t Start With You shows how the traumas of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents can live in our unexplained depression, anxiety, fears, phobias, obsessive thoughts and physical symptoms – what scientists are now calling “secondary PTSD.” Documenting the latest epigenetic research – how traumatic memories are transmitted through chemical changes in DNA – and the latest advances in neuroscience and the science of language, It Didn’t Start With You is an accessible and pragmatic guide to breaking inherited family patterns.
