It Didnt Start with You PDF-A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field.

Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experiences or in chemical imbalances in our brains – but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited: that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations.

It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood.

As a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over 20 years. It Didn’t Start with You offers a pragmatic and prescriptive guide to his method, the Core Language Approach. Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Techniques for developing a genogram or extended family tree create a map of experiences going back through the generations. And visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming life and health. It Didn’t Start With You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that, in many cases, traditional therapy, drugs, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch.

Top reviews

iminye “Despite the great reviews, as soon as I started reading, this book started brushing me the wrong way. What a waste of $5.24. As early as page 1, the author makes claims about the “latest scientific research” and offers no citation. On page 10 he claims a miraculous recovery of his vision. Are we to believe he ever had any eyesight loss at all? I don’t. Chapter 2 is inundated with internet articles as his “scientific” sources. On page 29 he makes a strange claim about junk DNA being influenced by emotions that cannot be falsified by a simple web search at all. In this manner, this chapter is full of non- peer-reviewed quoting, such as “Yehuda *claims*”, “Yehuda *believes*”.

Page 39 revealed why all of this seemed weak at best. I quote verbatim “Uncannily, the Bible, in Numbers 14:15, appears to corroborate the claims of modern science – or vice versa – that the sins, iniquities, or consequences (depending on which translation you read) of the parents can affect the children up to the third and fourth generations”. The author proceeds to open Chapter 3 with a Bible passage.

This is where to me, it is very clear this is all unscientific speculation based on confirmation bias and where I throw this book in the trash can.”

 

Laura Eastern “The author makes a compelling case for inherited trauma and the epigenetic origins of family pain. I have seen this play out in my own life and I am glad he brought this topic to light. But, his approach to resolving inherited trauma reeks to me of pathological naivete. He coaches the reader to reconcile with parents no matter how they bristle at this. He does not acknowledge those readers who may have been viciously and sadisticly traumatized by their parents . He indicates that parents generally mean well and we need to look for their better qualities and focus on what they did right. Tell that to a girl raped repeatedly her father or a boy beaten and brutalized by him. Reconciliation is not the answer here. He doesn’t acknowledge parents might actually be willfully harming their kids. I don’t think he knows who is audience here. The people searching for answers…reading books like this, often came from extreme circumstances and to not even act like they exist is so harmful. I guess this book made me angry and I hope he isn’t coaching trauma survivors in his private practice to look for the good and not take it all personally.”

 

Talia “Disclaimer: I did not buy it through . I was given this book from my stepdad and was very excited. I’m in my 20s, currently in psychotherapy and hypnosis and have explored the idea of intergenerational trauma. My family is a bunch of immigrants and I certainly know they’ve gone through trauma so it definitely fits.

But I immediately noticed that some things were off about the book. Being that I’ve been in therapy for a little while, have a great therapist now that helps me work through PTSD from abusive parents, this book was incredibly misguided and I’m happy that my BS meter caught on immediately. The author gives a few examples of striking things that happened to ancestors and the fear it passed on to present day people. Solid. I can get behind it. But where it got a little odd was the continuing theory (that I really hoped would die) that if you want to save your life and find meaning, then you need to maintain relationships with your parents and swallow your pride. I was actually so angry and I think it’s so arrogant of the author to assume that anyone who has cut off their parents or abusive family members is doing so because it’s “fun” and gives you power. People are instructed to go no-contact because others have acted abusively and egregiously violating. If I could have a relationship with some boundaries with my estranged family, I would!!!! It’s not like people are not trying and I found it especially shocking where at one point the author said that embarrassing and violating family members are still your family and you must accept them. I totally get it. You must know your story and your ancestral lineage- if you can. But spending the first third of the book talking about how reconciling with your (seemingly not abusive) parents is how you reclaimed your life…yeah I don’t think so. I’m writing this review because I’m concerned about others who are struggling with abuse and do not have access to mental health services and may pick up this book. Reconciling with family members can be a goal of yours IF you feel safe enough but it’s unfair to put the blame on the victim and tell them that they won’t be happy or have peace in their life unless they forgive and reconcile. Shameful book”

 

R. Millington “Tim Harbour, in his one-star review, states “To cite the bible as a legitimate source tells you everything you need to know about the author.” The author actually never does this – he simply quotes an interesting passage that ties in perfectly with modern psychological thought. In fact, he quotes the Bible twice in the entire book, with another reviewer claiming that this makes the work ‘religious’. Utter nonsense. The attack is clearly on Christianity, yet the author also quotes Virgil (so does that make him a Pagan?) and Freud (an atheist). My point is, ignore these one-star reviews because you could fit all of the ‘religious’ quotes (Christian, Pagan etc.) on half a page of what is a reasonably sized book. Instead, see how the theory ties in with current psycho-dynamic thought and the increasing knowledge being presented by neuroscience. An excellent book laid out in simple terms … although perhaps not simple enough for some!”
