If you’ve been plagued for years by the same problems—in your family, at work, and in your relationships with others—then the causes are worth looking for in yourself, or more precisely, in your childhood, regardless of whether it was happy or traumatic. Leading American psychotherapists Jeffrey Young and Janet Klosko, the creators of schema therapy, believe that as children each of us learns certain behavioral patterns, which we then repeat with stubborn persistence—even if they get in the way of being successful and happy.
But there is a way out! In this book you’ll learn why we make the same mistakes and what actions will help break the vicious circle and change your life for the better.
