Have you ever had the sense that your feelings, memories, or sensations are not your own? Do you at times wonder where the anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviour of a family member comes from when there is no apparent reason for it? Our guest on the show today, Mark Wolynn, offers insightful explanations for these mysterious experiences, including the impact that inherited trauma can have on our lives.

Whether we are aware of it or not, our family history plays an important role in shaping our thought patterns and behaviours since we carry the genetic composition of our parents and grandparents who might have lived through personal or collective traumas and whose experiences have a physiological bearing on us. This is the gist of the intriguing conversation listeners can look forward to. But more about our guest: Mark is the director of the Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco, a bestselling author, and a world leader in the field of inherited family trauma who regularly shares his expertise around the world. His book, It Didn't Start With You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle is the winner of the 2016 Silver Nautilus book award in psychology has been translated into 19 languages.

He specializes in depression, anxiety, obsessive thoughts, fears, panic disorders, self-injury, chronic pain, and persistent symptoms and conditions. Tuning in, listeners will gain a greater understanding of themselves and their family, learn how to begin the journey of inner healing and mending primary relationships, get insight into their own experiences as the children of victims and perpetrators, and more.
