Emotional Inheritance with Dr. Galit Atlas

Dr. Dan interviews Dr. Galit Atlas about generational trauma, her psychoanalyst work, and her book Emotional Inheritance: A Therapist, Her Patients, and the Legacy of Trauma. Today’s episode addressing trauma is both fascinating and essential listening for all families.   Dr. Atlas and Dr. Dan’s discussion is an insightful resource for conversations on the topic of generational trauma – illuminating the many extraordinary ways in which inherited family trauma affects our lives and how we can move beyond it. Dr. Dan and Dr. Atlas discuss how deeply trauma, love, loss, violence, and secrets travel through generations; how parents unconsciously transmit fears and losses as part of their parenting; and how we suppress what we are too afraid to face. Dr. Galit Atlas is an author, psychoanalyst, and clinical supervisor in private practice in New York City. She is on the faculty of NYU’s Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis as well as a faculty member of the National Training Program and at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies.
