The Trauma You Inherited Isn’t Yours — But You Can Break It | Mark Wolynn

September 14, 2026

What if some of the anxiety, fear, relationship patterns, or emotional pain you struggle with didn't begin with you? In this powerful conversation, Mark Wolynn, author of It Didn't Start With You, joins Dr. Daniel Amen & Tana to explore one of the most important questions in mental health: How much of what we carry was inherited from the generations before us? They unpack the hidden patterns that can travel through families — from unresolved grief and fear to attachment wounds, chronic stress, and behaviors we repeat without understanding why. Mark Wolynn shares how identifying the stories and emotional patterns passed down through our family can become a doorway to healing. Dr. Daniel Amen brings a brain-health perspective to the conversation, exploring how our experiences can shape the brain and influence the way we think, feel, and behave. This isn't about blaming your parents. It's about understanding yourself. Because when you recognize where a pattern came from, you may finally have the power to stop repeating it. You didn't choose everything you inherited. But you can choose what happens next.
