In this episode sponsored by The Happiness Planner I am talking with Mark Wolynn, a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma and the author of the award winning book 't Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle'. We are diving into the emerging field of psychology known as "inherited family trauma" - which is trauma that is passed down generationally and in families - and how it can influence our health, emotions, psychology, addictions, phobias and beliefs. 

We cover:

- How trauma can be passed down from one generation to the next

- Exploring the root of obsessive thoughts, fears, panic disorders + chronic conditions

- The science and psychology behind it all

- How trauma lives in our bodies and changes our DNA

- How Mark discovered this work in his own practice working with trauma

- Specific case studies of how ancestral trauma can affect people

- The 'Core Language' of Trauma - how it expresses itself

- How to ascertain if you have inherited trauma or early-life trauma

- How we break the cycle of inherited family trauma

- Why talking about "hard stuff" in families is ESSENTIAL

- Different types of inherited/family trauma that can manifest (including the influence of traumatic events, death, grief, periods of war or social hardship)

- Rewriting the story of trauma in our bodies and minds
