We are all a bit like Little Red Riding Hood. One day we step beyond the threshold of our parents’ home and enter a forest full of dangers—adult life, where there’s no room for childish expectations and infantile fantasies. Yulia Pirumova, a gestalt psychologist, guided by the fairy‑tale archetype, offers a journey back to yourself: through crises, to find inner strength; to turn past wounds into the happiness of living in the present. The author’s methods and exercises will help you:
• stop comparing yourself to others and develop an inner compass
• accept personal crises as a natural condition of moving to a new life stage
• stop pleasing others and learn the courage not to like what you don’t like
• learn to protect your uniqueness and vulnerability
• work through past mistakes and find your own identity
