You may notice that these concepts all come from psychoanalytic ideas and I hope to breathe life into these ideas so you can apply them in your life.

In this episode of RECLAIM, I interview psychoanalyst and author Dr. Galit Atlas about what it means to address and heal wounds that didn't originate in our own lives but in the lives of our parents or grandparents—wounds that are now repeating in our experiences. Intergenerational trauma can profoundly affect us, often without our awareness. And it begs the question, how do you address something that doesn't even belong to you?

There are a lot of difficult parts of being human, and all of those things tend to revolve around feelings that arise within us that are hard to tolerate.
