Family is not your destiny

Our family shapes who we are: from the circumstances of our conception and birth, to family taboos and the expectations placed upon us. If we want to understand our anxieties, dysfunctional relationships, why we get stuck in life, or our physical ailments, it’s not enough to just examine our own lives. Through real-life stories, psychologist Noémi Orvos-Tóth shows how we are affected by rejection, suppressed pain, and inherited beliefs. We cannot change the past. But if we understand it, it doesn't have to determine our future or the fate of our children.
