Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The third generation of survivors is the one that is most affected by the aftermath of the Holocaust. They carry emotional material that belongs to their parents and grandparents, and they feel these traumas even if they don't consciously know them. #2 The first childhood memory often reveals the reasons a patient seeks therapy, and it illustrates the patient's view of herself. It often illustrates the experience of being forgotten. #3 During her session, Eve told me that she was married and had two children. She explained that she had decided to start therapy because something terrible had happened, something that made her realize she needed help. She then told me about her affair with Josh. #4 The tension between the wish to destroy and the urge to survive, create, and produce is a part of every aspect of our lives, including our relationships. It is important to recognize and bring these urges and wishes into consciousness, and to question our choices and the choices of the people who came before us.
