What Is Emotional Inheritance... How Do We Leave It Behind?
Manage episode 517998696 series 2956146
In this episode I explore the hidden world of emotional inheritance—those unconscious fears, patterns, and traumas passed down through generations that quietly shape our choices, using a simple cupboard habit as proof that even tiny actions carry ancestral echoes. I guide you through science-backed ways to uncover and release these invisible burdens, so you can reclaim your freedom and author a lighter legacy.

Quotes:
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ― C.G. Jung
“The people we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, we know what was not explicitly conveyed to us, and these things shape our lives in ways that we don’t always understand.” ― Galit Atlas, Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma
"We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us." -Jean-Paul Sartre
"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." -Jean-Paul Sartre
“We carry emotional material that belongs to our parents and grandparents, retaining losses of theirs that they never fully articulated. We feel these traumas even if we don’t consciously know them. Old family secrets live inside us.” ― Galit Atlas, Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma
