Hillary Clinton's recent defence of Bill's philandering by blaming it on childhood abuse is a high profile example of a trend our society has fallen into - criticising our families for our current ills and behaviour. Whether in the latest self-esteem building seminar; on the psychiatrist's couch; or watching EASTENDERS, we're all at it - slagging off our upbringing and our parents. OPRAH 'Change Your Life' expert Mark Bryan thinks we have gone too far and that this has led to a skewed perception of our families, and in some cases a breakdown in family relationships that are completely avoidable.
Mark Bryan now does for parents and children what John Gray did for men and women - gets them to search beneath the traded insults and perceived misunderstandings to understand the codes of love which were being transmitted all along. Families are not perfect, Bryan is the first to admit, and spent many years alienated from his own. But via his own tortuous route back to a more harmonious family life, he learnt to understand that parents are sometimes incapable of directly expressing their feelings of love and pride for their offspring, and that each family has its own unique code for communicating positive feelings, using actions and words that may not only obscure love but sometimes get interpreted as love's opposite.
Now, using examples both from the author's own past and the stories of those he has helped and counselled over the years, THE CODES OF LOVE will help anyone understand and interpret their family better, and break down the communication barrier which has built up between family members. This book encourages people to reconnect with their family and set them free to forge positive and loving bonds by throwing a warmer and more balanced light on the past.
