Are our fears and anxieties rooted in our ancestors’ experiences?

? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

It Didn't Start with You begins with the premise that memory and feelings can live long after we die and provides a stepping stone to help heal the impacts of traumatic legacies that are passed down by our ancestors. In the book, author Mark Wolynn — an expert in the field — walks us through an understanding of the effects of family trauma on individual identity and encourages the reader to end the cycle of generational trauma. Wolynn demonstrates that the root of psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, phobias, and obsessive thoughts, do not necessarily belong to us — but to our ancestors. Building on previous studies conducted by post-traumatic stress experts, this approach enables physical and emotional health awareness through an understanding of encoded emotional legacies.
