I Will Not Be Your Copy. How to Live Based on Your Choice, Not Family Scenarios

How often, looking at your reflection in the mirror, do you anxiously recognize in it the traits of your parents – their mistakes, fears, weaknesses? In the book "I Will Not Be Your Copy," renowned Italian psychologist and educator Daniele Novara explains how to stop unconsciously repeating parental scenarios and step out of the shadow of parental setups. Drawing on real stories from his patients and more than 30 years of research experience, the author describes various types of family scenarios – from overprotection to emotional unavailability, from authoritarian upbringing to permissiveness. The uniqueness of Novara's approach lies in the combination of deep analysis of personal experience and practical exercises that help the reader step out of the parental shadow.
