Why do we dislike our parents, but unconsciously become them?
Why do we resent particular flaws in our parents, yet end up in relationships with partners who possess those very same flaws?
The pain arising from issues within one's family of origin impacts everyone to some extent. Drawing from over 40 years of dedicated research on family dynamics, Qiu Liwa, a family therapist who embraces the Satir model, invites us to explore the emotional shadows cast by our family of origin. Through this process, we can reconcile with our past, heal from past traumas, and ultimately build stronger family relationships while shaping a renewed sense of self. Based on the Satir model, this book offers carefully crafted experiential exercises designed to facilitate personal growth and bring about positive changes within the family unit.
