Heal and Live a More Fulfilling Life with Emily Cohen

Heal your intergenerational trauma and live a more fulfilling and empowered life!

Emily Cohen, author of From Generation to Generation: Healing Intergenerational Trauma Through Storytelling, is interviewed by Jenn and Melanie. In her book, Emily Wanderer Cohen connects the dots between her behaviors and choices and her mother’s Holocaust experiences. In a series of vivid, emotional—and sometimes gut-wrenching—stories, she illustrates how the Holocaust continues to have an impact on current and future generations. Plus, the prompts at the end of each chapter enable you to explore your own intergenerational trauma and begin your healing journey.

Her book will help you:

•Understand how the Holocaust and other trauma survivors transmit their trauma to their children and grandchildren
•Recognize that you’re not alone in your emotions and feelings
•Uncover your own intergenerational trauma and specific triggers
•Stop the cycle of intergenerational trauma in your family
•Replace anger and resentment with forgiveness—and begin the healing process

Part memoir and part self-discovery, if you’re a second-generation (2G) or third-generation (3G) Holocaust survivor—or you’re experiencing the intergenerational trauma of any kind—and you’re ready to heal from that trauma, you need to read this book.

Emily Wanderer Cohen is the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors. Ever since the day she came home from religious school asking her mother about the Holocaust, Emily heard her mother's stories of incarceration in and escape from concentration camp as well as eventual immigration to the United States. Her mother also spoke to schoolchildren and other audiences about her personal Holocaust experiences, helping to ensure that this horrific event would never be forgotten. Emily now works with multiple generations of Holocaust survivors to understand and heal their transmitted trauma through writing. She also speaks to Jewish and other organizations about her mother's history as well as how her mother's trauma affected her as a second-generation (2G) Holocaust survivor.
