Paperback. Condition: Good. We learned how to relate to others in childhood, by gauging the responses our behavior elicited in our parents and creating early agreements with ourselves about how best to act and feel. We believed this was a mutual agreement, or "contract" that we were making with our parents. Unfortunately, these contracts don't stand up outside our families of origin and were often not formed our best interests in mind. Breaking these old contracts and establishing new ones with the important people in our lives is essential to both growing out of unhealthy childhood roles and getting what we truly need.
