Our parental home leaves its marks. It shapes our character and our behavior in everyday life, especially in romantic relationships. If there are problems, they can be resolved if we trace these marks back and clarify the conflicts at their source: with the mother or the father. Through numerous case studies, including examples from their own relationship, experienced Imago couple therapists Roland and Sabine Bösel demonstrate how to address such burdens through direct conversation. For dialogue is the most important tool for fostering love, restoring it, and allowing it to develop further. Content includes: My parents are to blame for my problems; yes, Mom, I am responsible for your happiness; I will never forgive you for that; I am not allowed to have a happy relationship; I will definitely do it differently; we don’t talk about that. Sabine and Roland Bösel have been leading for years.
