When we repeatedly fall into the same traps in life, it is because we are following unconscious patterns: the anxious or angry child within us or the strict judge who threatens with punishment and withdrawal of love. Psychotherapist Gitta Jacob demonstrates that there is another way. Numerous exercises and prompts help to free oneself from fears and compulsions, in order to achieve lasting confidence and inner peace, and finally embark on new paths.
