HEALING FROM FAMILY TREE HERITAGES

<p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Just as leaves grow on branches and trees have roots we do not come from nowhere. The DNA the talents the values and the life experiences of our ancestors still live within us more so than we assume and they can have both beneficial and detrimental consequences. Indeed trauma unfinished grief family secrets and conflicts reverberate from generation to generation.</span></p><p class=ql-align-justify><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Beyond the importance of better understanding where we come from the author emphasizes that we are not just the product of the past nor simply the outcome of our family tree. We can integrate our invisible heritages instead of letting them unconsciously drive our lives. For example we can identify and rewrite the false unachieved or missing stories in our genealogy. With many illustrations the author shows how analyzing the lives of our ancestors helps us to resolve current conflicts and heal all kinds of symptoms.
