Description:Have you broken from your parents or are you considering it?
Breaking From Your Parents, written by former psychotherapist Daniel
Mackler, tackles this taboo subject. Relying on the author’s personal
experience and that of many others, the book offers background on this
often painful subject and discusses actions we can take to maximize the
healthiness of our breaking up process and minimize the risk. The book
explores such topics as confronting parents, dealing with siblings,
becoming financially independent, doing self-therapy to strengthen
ourselves, grieving our losses, dealing with the world’s judgments and
negative pressures, healing our childhood traumas, making respectful
friends and living a healthy lifestyle. The book is direct,
straightforward and supportive—and takes the point of view that there
can be great value for us all in our taking distance from our parents.
