In this powerful conversation, I reconnect with Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn’t Start With You, to explore how inherited family trauma, early attachment breaks, and epigenetic imprinting shape our anxiety, health, and relationships - often without our conscious awareness.
Together, we unpack how experiences in our family line, especially disruptions in the mother‑child bond, can echo through the nervous system and influence the patterns we carry into adulthood. Mark shares the latest human research validating multigenerational transmission, along with practical tools to begin healing these imprints.
Grab the newest updated edition and workbook of It Didn’t Start With You out anywhere you buy books, or go to https://markwolynn.com/it-didnt-start-with-you/.
We explore:
• what inherited trauma is and how attachment breaks form
• how early separation, birth interventions, and medical procedures imprint the nervous system
• why certain ages, milestones, and moves trigger old patterns
• unconscious loyalty and repeated themes across generations
• the “core sentence” method for surfacing trauma language
• practical regulation tools for staying with sensation and building internal safety
• updated science on epigenetics and multigenerational stress
• how to use the revised book and workbook for guided healing
This episode offers grounded, compassionate insight for anyone navigating anxiety, relationship patterns, or a sense that something deeper is living in the body. Mark’s work continues to illuminate how we can reconnect, repair, and move toward greater safety and wholeness.
