A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field
Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.
As a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over twenty years. It Didn’t Start with You offers a pragmatic and prescriptive guide to his method, the Core Language Approach. Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Techniques for developing a genogram or extended family tree create a map of experiences going back through the generations. And visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming life and health. It Didn’t Start With You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that in many cases, traditional therapy, drugs, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch.

Groundbreaking!
“It Didn’t Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle” by Mark Wolynn is a groundbreaking exploration of the impact of inherited family trauma on our personal lives and behaviors. Wolynn, a leading expert in the field, delves into the complex interplay between genetics, emotional health, and family history, revealing how trauma can be transferred across generations. Through the use of compelling case studies and accessible psychological insights, the book offers a compelling argument for the profound influence of familial past on our present and future selves.One of Wolynn’s most significant contributions is his development of a methodology to uncover and address inherited trauma. He presents practical tools and techniques that readers can use to trace the roots of their emotional issues back to unresolved traumas in their family histories. This approach not only broadens the understanding of personal and psychological issues but also provides a clear and actionable path towards healing and breaking the cycle of suffering.The book is highly accessible, aimed not only at professionals in the fields of psychology and psychiatry but also at anyone interested in understanding the deeper determinants of their behavior and emotional well-being. It’s thought-provoking and potentially transformative, challenging readers to reconsider the origins of their issues and empowering them with the knowledge to enact change.While some may find the concept of inherited trauma difficult to grasp or even controversial, Wolynn supports his claims with a rich blend of scientific research, clinical experience, and narrative. “It Didn’t Start with You” stands out as a compassionate guide towards understanding and overcoming the burdens we carry from our ancestors, encouraging a journey of self-discovery and healing.It’s a must-read for anyone looking to explore the hidden dimensions of their family history and its impact on their life.

Makes you think and begin asking questions
I thought this was a very interesting book. It really makes you think and consider a lot of hidden and/or unknown traumas. It may even inspire you to learn more about the people and pasts of family members.

Lo leà antes de este boom que están teniendo las constelaciones familiares. Me ayudo a confirmar muchas dudas/teorÃas que yo estaba teniendo sobre mi persona y de cómo lo estaba relacionando con la forma de ser de mis papas, tÃos y abuelos. Me dio calma al saber que no me lo estaba imaginando ya que si existe el impacto que dejan y forman tu persona.

An eye opener about how our connections are so deep routed that our thoughts and feelings are governed by how we have handled these connections.This book gives the needed techniques to unbind ourselves from the web and get out of the traumas we have carried for so long.
