This clinical presentation will focus on ideas from Atlas’s book Emotional Inheritance. 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.
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to define inherited trauma.
Participants will be able to explain the term Erotic Reparation.
Participants will be able to identify the link between reparation and repetition.
