Stalin lived in our apartment: How the Traumas of Our Ancestors Prevent Our Lives and What to Do About It
9.99 €
Wars, genocide, famine, repression and other social catastrophes leave a powerful psychic trauma. Its carriers are not only the participants of the events, but also their descendants. How is this trauma transmitted from generation to generation? What should we do with a painful, terrible or shameful family history? How to stop being its hostages, to unlock the charms of the past?
Tatiana Litvinova, a psychologist with 19 years of experience, explores the intergenerational (transgenerational) transmission of trauma on the example of her own family, which suffered from Stalinist repressions, and many other families with their real stories. She pays special attention to events that have been silenced by generations, family secrets and "skeletons in the closet". The author believes that in any family story there is almost always both a trauma and a resource. By recognizing the source of trauma, we can better understand ourselves and learn how to effectively use the power we have inherited.
