Breaking family patterns will transform your way of living and loving

Marisa Franco once said, "To truly know who we are, we must witness who we have been until now." From the renowned therapist and relationship expert Vienna Pharaon comes a profound guide to understanding and transcending the wounds of our family of origin, wounds that lie at the foundations of our relationships with others, ourselves, and the world around us.

No one can boast of having had a perfect childhood. Most of us carry behaviors from the past that no longer serve us or even harm us. However, it doesn't have to be this way. The past has created certain behavior patterns that condition us, yes, but we can all transform them if we use the right tools.

In this book, Vienna Pharaon proposes a deep healing process in which we will understand our family of origin, that is, the family and environment in which we grew up, and examine what worked (and what didn't) in that system. Certain dysfunctions (or wounds) from that family of origin manifest in our adult behaviors in surprising ways, from challenges at work to recurring conflicts in our relationships. But the good news is that armed with knowledge of our past, we can reset that mental and emotional programming to significantly improve our relationships and our lives from now on.

It doesn't matter if you've been in therapy for years or if therapy isn't for you. It doesn't matter if you have a lot of childhood memories or if, conversely, you struggle to find any. The only thing that matters is your willingness to look within yourself and your determination to find a new path. Filled with reflections and guided introspections, personal experiences, patient stories, concrete ideas for having difficult conversations, and worksheets that complement each chapter, this book will teach you how family can nurture and also destroy... and how you can heal yourself forever.
