Getting Over Your Parents - Book

€21.50

Untangling Your Own Childhood

Our parents play a significant role in shaping who we are. Regardless of the nature of our relationship with them, our family of origin profoundly influences key aspects of our lives—our approach to love, our attitudes toward work, and even our sense of self-worth.

Following the bestseller How to Overcome Your Childhood, Getting Over Your Parents by The School of Life serves as a practical guide for navigating the complex legacy our parents leave behind.

By examining different types of parents—such as "The Preoccupied Parent," "The Overprotective Parent," and "The Controlling Parent"—the book provides a vocabulary to help us understand some of the strange and challenging ways parents can impact their children. It also offers advice on how to move past these inherited complexities. The focus is not on assigning blame but on fostering understanding.

This book presents constructive strategies for dealing with the lingering effects of a difficult childhood, encouraging us to reflect on the past so we can avoid repeating our parents' mistakes. Ultimately, it helps us pave the way for the creative, peaceful, and loving future we deserve.

    How to Overcome Your Childhood Book

    €14.00

    We don’t have to remain prisoners of the past, but in order to liberate ourselves from our histories we must first become fully aware of them.

    How to overcome your childhood is an English book by The School of Life about such a liberation. We learn about how character is developed, the concept of ‘emotional inheritance’, the formation of our concepts of being ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and the impact of parental styles of love on the way we choose adult partners. We learn too about how we might evolve emotionally and, in particular, how we may sometimes need to have a breakdown in order to have a breakthrough.

    We are left with a powerful sense that building up an emotionally successful adult life is possible so long as we reflect with sufficient imagination and compassion on what happened to us a long while back.

    Topics Include:

    • Emotional Inheritance – How emotional problems are handed down from parent to child
    • The Golden Child Syndrome – How too much love from our parents can be just as damaging as too little
    • Over-Achievement – How we compensate for emotional neglect through worldly success
    • Splitting – How we fail to reconcile between the good and bad aspects of our parents
    • Soothing – How we still require the kinds of affection we received as children
    • Becoming an Adult – How recognising our immaturity is the key to growth

    Content: Hardback book | 118 pages

    A Therapeutic Atlas

    €22.00

    This is an atlas that gathers together some of the most enchanting and reinvigorating places around the world in order to heal and captivate, including beautiful destinations in Greece, Italy, Japan, America, Chile and Australia, to name but a few. We’re taken to the tops of mountains, solitary cliffs, elegant cities and also some less expected locations: airports, hydroelectric stations and meteorite craters.

    Great travellers have always known that travelling can broaden the mind; here we see how it can also heal it. A Therapeutic Atlas reminds us that the world is far broader and more inspiring than we tend to appreciate day to day. Tempting images are combined with short essays that discuss the power of particular places to help us with the difficulties of being human. We locate places that are therapeutic because they coax us out of familiar patterns of thought and liberate our minds.

    This is a book that can be read when travelling, as a real-life atlas, but as importantly, when travel is difficult, it reminds us that there is no place like home and the sanctuary of our own bed.
