    “An extremely digestible overview of the research relating to the roots of our difficulties ranging from depression to anxiety to chronic pain to phobias and obsessive thoughts being not in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. Fascinating and unfortunately incredibly relatable, Wolynn's work luckily goes one step beyond analysis into proposed cycle-breaking action. Developing a family tree of genetic trauma will be a 'rock your shit' experience you'll never forget.”
