Inherited Fate

In every journey of self-knowledge, there comes a moment when we realise that the roots of our difficulties can be traced back to the past – to the traumas, unprocessed losses, and limiting beliefs of our parents, grandparents, and even to ancestors we have never met. These intergenerational wounds are passed from one generation to the next – invisibly, without our knowledge – and as long as we postpone confronting our family heritage, we will continue to unconsciously transmit negative patterns of pain and distrust.

But what are these patterns? Where are they to be found? And how can they be broken?

In Inherited Fate, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth invites the reader on a journey of self-awareness that spans generations, encouraging you to set off on densely overgrown paths and cast light in dark corners in order to face the forces that are at work in your life. Rooted in Orvos-Tóth’s psychoanalytic approach and illustrated with vivid examples 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.
