And Learn How to Re-Parent Yourself
Break the Chains of Transgenerational Parenting
In this second of a three-book series, Dorothy Husen gives readers a plan of action to stop the march of transgenerational trauma through their family, heal the emotional issues that keep them stuck, and free themselves to live the life they want to live—the one they were meant to live. Using a process that combines re-parenting therapy with mind-body techniques—a process Husen herself designed and uses successfully in her therapy practice—readers learn to expose and then repair misbeliefs formed in childhood that continue to rule their thinking and obstruct their progress in life. Chapter by chapter, step by step, readers will discover how to set their life on a course of radical self-acceptance and self-love that allows them to live life with curiosity and for the adventure it is.
When parents are consistently unable to attune to their child, the bond or connection between parent and child can develop in ways that make it difficult for the child to be resilient and manage traumas. Because our very survival as infants depends on our parent or primary caregiver, that relationship makes a huge impression on us. So the quality of it is important. It lays the groundwork for what we expect from and how we behave in other relationships - including, and most especially, in our relationship with ourselves.
"Break the Chains of Transgenerational Parenting and Learn How to Re-Parent Yourself, can change your life. No matter what age we reach, our childhood patterns that are rooted in misconceptions about life and its way can be visited and re-framed. Husen, through telling her own stories about her adult, life-changing journey, helps us readers to tap into our own life-limiting beliefs from childhood and re-form them into life-affirming and energizing behaviors. The power of Husen's book lies in its simple language and step-by-step processes; reading it, you feel as if you are having an extended weekend visit with a friend who gets it and wants you to get it, too. The magic of its message is that Husen, as your friend, doesn't force the issue; she opens the door to your own discovery and remains willing to pay witness and support of it. She rejoices when you get it and encourages you to continue the path of life-affirming adulthood with a spirit and heart fueled by your own discovery. I highly recommend this book."
