"Break the Cycle!" is the aspiration that many parents have for themselves: a liberation from harmful thought and behavior patterns inherited from previous generations, so that their children can grow up mentally healthy. This book identifies the 20 most common harmful patterns and shows parents how they can break them. It is especially important for parents to be forgiving of themselves, as they too will unconsciously pass on patterns. And that's okay, as long as they equip their children with the right tools to become cycle breakers themselves later on.
