In Inherited Fate , psychologist Noemi Orvos-Toth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations. Illustrated with vivid stories and questions that invite the reader to engage personally, Inherited Fate is a fascinating framework for discovery of the self, the dismantling of inherited beliefs and the revelation of wisdom stored in the body. We cannot undo what has happened, but if we understand it, the past can help give a different shape to the present and to our future. Inherited Fate explores- the impact of the events surrounding conception and birth – such as the stress our mothers experienced during pregnancy, the expectations of our parents about our sex or our role in the family, or where we fall in the birth order; the far-reaching spillover effects of repressing trauma – both individual and collective; the deep marks left by the attachment pattern formed in childhood, and how it returns in the relationships of adulthood; how family secrets divide us, distort reality and destroy trust, even when they remain buried.
