Jung“The people we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their emotional pain, we dream their memories, we know what was not explicitly conveyed to us, and these things shape our lives in ways that we don’t always understand.” ― Galit Atlas, Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma"We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made of us." -Jean-Paul Sartre"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." -Jean-Paul Sartre“We carry emotional material that belongs to our parents and grandparents, retaining losses of theirs that they never fully articulated. We feel these traumas even if we don’t consciously know them. Old family secrets live inside us.” ― Galit Atlas, Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of TraumaSocial Media:Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudioX @SoulPodcastShowCheck Out The Soul Pod Video Channels:The SoulPod on RumbleThe SoulPod on YouTubeCoaching - For free 30 minute Discovery Call https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/NOTE: Links to recommended reading material are affiliate links.
