Synopsis

The aspects of our personality that we reject tell us a very important story. The way in which we define who we are - our identity - is shaped by the significant relationships in our life. If we have a history of complex relationships, whether it be with our parents, romantic partners or other significant figures, it can profoundly change the way we see ourselves.Our mind gets fragmented, and a deep conflict arises within us, which sometimes consumes a large part of our energy and keeps us from living a life that is fully satisfying. This book, which is aimed at patients and family members of people who have been through adverse situations that fit with what we call complex trauma, will present and explain some of the psychological problems that these situations can produce.Based on work done with patients who have a history of trauma or attachment disorders, different ideas are presented that can help overcome dysfunctional post-traumatic patterns.The aim of this book is to understand how the reactions that we have, which sometimes may be difficult even for us to explain, come from an accumulation of experiences and things we have learned, of which we may not even be fully aware. This book is about the psychological consequences of all these experiences, but mainly about our freedom to choose what we do with them.
