Sinossi
Le persone che amiamo e quelle che ci hanno cresciuto vivono dentro di noi. Proviamo il loro dolore emotivo, sogniamo i loro ricordi: questo dolore e questi ricordi plasmano la nostra vita in modi che non sempre riconosciamo. "L'eredità emotiva" racconta di segreti familiari che ci impediscono di esprimere appieno le nostre potenzialità: come fantasmi che continuano a tormentarci, quei segreti producono una discontinuità tra quello che desideriamo e quello che siamo in grado di raggiungere. Galit Atlas intreccia le storie dei pazienti con le proprie e con decenni di ricerca per aiutarci a identificare il nesso tra le difficoltà della nostra vita e l'"eredità emotiva" che portiamo dentro di noi. Solo seguendo le tracce lasciate da quei fantasmi potremo davvero imprimere un corso diverso al nostro destino.

Recensioni

PhD of anecdotes, no scientific backing and is extremely biased. Definitely focused on introspection which I personally don’t care for and it’s something that has been debunked in the field long ago.

This is one of my favorite reads of 2021, and that's saying a lot as I've logged over 300 books this year. Dr. Atlas shows us how we pass on our trauma through generations just as we pass on our biological genes, even when our stories are never discussed between generations. She uses a different case Leggi tutto
This book advocates for therapy but doesn’t really give readers any tools besides anecdotes. I agree we inherit emotions from our parents but it’s difficult to analyze if they have passed on. I also don’t think understanding the source of a behavior is enough to release it. We all have emotional bag Leggi tutto
I don't really know if I believe in the concept of psychologically inherited trauma quite as the anecdotes delivered in this book. However, I do think that family trauma and family secrets can influence future generations. It's in the silences, the violence, the hints. That it would really somehow s Leggi tutto
Galit Atlas's book is a "must-read" for everyone who feels like their efforts of understanding themselves and/or their patients has reached a certain impasse, one that can only be broken by digging in deeper into what has been passed on to us by previous generations. By doing that, this book does no Leggi tutto
An interesting selection of case studies that explores how childhood circumstances and observations, parental and grandparental interactions influence subconsciously future outcomes. Ancestral patterns, events, perceptions and experiences even when unknown can create consequences in present and futur Leggi tutto
