Je suis fille, je suis mère, je suis également épouse. Je poursuis l'individu vrai. Sur le chemin, je suis embarassé, je me sens inconfortable, j'ai fait des erreurs, parfois je me doute, je persiste toujours.
Part of the reason we feel lost and confused is that it’s not just our peers we’ve tuned out, but also the supposed experts who in the past gave us calm reassurances. Not anymore. We no longer trust our institutions and their “authoritative” answers. We live in an information age, so when our doctor offers a prescription, we don’t just accept their script and start serving up pills to our tots. No. Instead we hurry on home to do our own primary research, only to be deluged with conflicting opinions. Who’s right? Whose advice do we follow? What if we get it wrong?
As a therapist and coach, I have worked with a great many mothers who have found tremendous relief in giving up the Good Mom myth. It doesn’t mean you blow off motherhood and childrearing or any other backlash response. Instead, this book is a chance to explore a new way of thinking. It’s a chance to open our eyes to a new and positive framework for building loving families, to learn how people grow, develop, and relate whit one another. Don’t worry – there will also be sex, intrigue, power struggles, tantrums, hair-brained husbands, and battering siblings; it’s not just a psychology book! I will show you the myths that bring our families unneeded troubles, and pragmatic techniques for doing things differently that you can try out immediately.
