CE: “Emotional Inheritance: The Legacy of Trauma” – Dr. Galit Atlas
April 30, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm PDT
Sponsored by
The WILA Alumni Association
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This talk will focus on Atlas’ new book Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma. It will discuss the ways in which trauma is transmitted from one generation to the next and held in our minds and bodies as our own. Atlas will examine emotional material that we unknowingly carry with us: the memories, feelings, and traumas that we inherit from previous generations and the link between our parents and grandparents’ history, and our own emotional struggles. How do we inherit, hold, and process things that we don’t remember or didn’t experience ourselves? What is the weight of that which is present but not fully known? This talk will be divided to three parts, each will focus on a different aspect of our emotional inheritance. The clinical tales will describe the many ways in which we can locate the ghosts of the past that hold us back and interfere with our lives and will focus on love, loss and the power of attachment.
“Emotional Inheritance is a gem for anyone, but it is an essential read for those seeking to understand trauma, therapy, and the healing process.”
– Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD
