- Summary
- "Our family legacies, both positive and negative, are passed down from one generation to the next in ways that are not fully understood. This secondary form of trauma, which Dr. Gita Baack calls "Inherited Trauma," has not received adequate attention--a failing that perpetuates cycles of pain, hatred, and sometimes violence. In The Inheritors, readers are given the opportunity to reflect on the inherited burdens they carry, as well as the resilience that has given them the power to not only survive but thrive. Through engaging stories and unique concepts, readers will learn new ways to explore the unknowns in their own legacies, reflect on questions that are posed at the end of each chapter, and begin to write their own story."--Page [4] of cover.
