Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book is a powerful invitation to think about yourself and others from an intergenerational perspective. What unexamined ghosts lie hidden in our family histories? Through compassionate and insightful storytelling, Dr. Galit Atlas illuminates how unprocessed traumas repeat themselves throughout generations, and confronting them offers the possibility of change. 🎧

Galit Atlas has married psychoanalysis with what feels like the magical world of emotional inheritance, in which ancestral trauma is passed down through generations. Except that the way in which we all know more than we think we do about our families and one another unconsciously is not magic, it is very real; as is the way in which processing the trauma can finally begin to heal and release it. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A book I read to understand some of the lineage of the language we use around and about trauma. Freuds legacy does a ton of harm, and psychoanalysis for primary form of trauma work continues that. I do love the presence and curiosity of the therapist, but ultimately, I can‘t get behind this professionally. If you enjoy reading accounts of other peoples therapy, you will likely really enjoy this as it‘s primarily vignettes.
