So many people have asked me to record an episode about what could be described as normal crazy families. Indeed, over the last nearly 27yrs, so many clients have needed assistance in navigating the everyday madness of it all.

But, before we talk about solutions, we need to understand the origins of the problem. And that's what this Episode is about.

Where do the roots of resentment take hold? Where are the seeds of self-sabotage sown? How does the subtle erosion of the field of dreams take place?

As always, the episode is peppered (and salted!) with real-life anecdotes that, on the face of it, can seem insignificant. But a throwaway remark by a parent which they'll forget five minutes later, will be remembered by the impressionable child five decades later.

So, buckle up for this two-parter and we'll dole out the solutions next week.
