Publisher's Summary

Past Present shows listeners how to change destructive relationship patterns by identifying the root issues from their pasts and finding the source of healing for their unique stories.

No matter where we are in life, both our greatest joys and our deepest heartaches are linked to the people in our lives - family, friends, or coworkers. And each of us brings both beauty and brokenness into relationships. The origins of our beauty and our brokenness often can be traced to the patterns of relating we learned when we were young. We relate to others in ways that reflect the distorted messages we heard and internalized earlier in life. The good news is this: We don't have to remain stuck in these patterns. In Past Present, Scott Vaudrey equips us with tools and a strategy to:

  • Identify the messages we've internalized - both as children and as adults - from the influential people in our lives;
  • Refute and repair the distorted messages that led to unhelpful patterns now holding us back; and
  • Recognize the productive messages we've internalized and maximize the strengths they built into us along the way.

We can't undo yesterday. But we can do the rest of our lives better.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Deceptivly decietful

I thought initially that the book seemed interesting and may be constructive. However ideas and answers were often without true scientific substance. It may be there but it is not really established. Catch phrases are introduced about pain and hurt that bore much resemblance to the poorly taught pop psychology in the fundamental christian church i left many years ago. The reason for this became very evident when the author started to talk about his and our relationship with god like god is a real and scientifically established being. If you are an analytical thinker and believe we can function as a good and whole society and individuals without one of the thousands of make believe gods and don’t like circular reasoning or unsubstantiated statements then this book is not for you. Its a pity there is so much fluff in here as i think there is some good answers. Had the author focused on the tools and how and why he got and used them then taught us how to apply them without the made up stuff the book may have been quite helpful.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
