Emotional inheritance: a therapist, her patients, and the legacy of trauma

A trace in the mind

Our grandparents: inherited trauma in past generations. Life and death in love affairs ; Confusion of tongues ; Sex, suicide, and the riddle of grief ; The radioactivity of trauma

Our parents: the secrets of others. When secrets become ghosts ; Unwelcome babies ; Permission to cry ; Dead brother, dead sister

Ourselves: breaking the cycle. The taste of sorrow ; The cycle of violence ; The unexamined life

A door opens.
