It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle Apr 26, 2016

by Mark Wolynn

( 6,364 )

$9.99

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.

Dieser Schmerz ist nicht meiner: Wie wir uns mit dem seelischen Erbe unserer Familie aussöhnen (German Edition) Apr 3, 2017

by Mark Wolynn, Silvia Autenrieth

( 222 )

$20.99

Manche Menschen sind grundlos traurig, ängstlich oder leiden an Schmerzen, für die es keine Erklärung gibt. Manche wollen ihr Potenzial leben und stoßen immer wieder an eine Grenze, die unüberwindbar scheint. Die Ursache kann in der Familiengeschichte liegen, wenn erlittenes Leid durch Kriegserlebnisse, Unfälle oder eine frühe Trennung von den Eltern an die nächste Generation weitervererbt wurde.

Das bahnbrechende Buch von Mark Wolynn zeigt einen Weg, wie dieses Erbe gelöst und integriert werden kann. Es ist ein großartiges Selbsthilfebuch, um Familientraumata zu heilen. Und um sich wieder mit sich selbst zu verbinden und endlich das eigene Leben zu leben.

你是否長期陷於身心病痛，無從擺脫，只能無助自問：是哪裡出了錯？
本書作者馬克．渥林要告訴你的則是：別灰心，這不是你的錯。

很多時候，即使我們從未聽聞或察覺，家族成員受到的創傷，卻會因為他們受創當下難以面對、難以處理傷痛，而在基因中留下過去經驗的記憶。即使原本受創的家人已經過世，或者他的故事早已被遺忘、不再被提起，記憶和感覺卻一直存在。情緒的繼承往往是潛藏在無意識裡的，編碼在每個元素中，遺傳至我們體內。

最新基因科學研究也發現，創傷的影響會從上一代延續到下一代，從基因的表現到日常語言，對我們心理和生理帶來重大影響，藉由慢性病痛、憂鬱症、焦慮症、恐慌症、強迫性思考、創傷後壓力症候群……等，各種身心症狀表現出來。
