“it to what no one has control over—childhood family distress and trauma. Using sound psychology and personal experiences, Ike shows how growing up with family dysfunction can both hinder and encourage relationships in adulthood. From instability in identity to a fierce loyalty for others, Ike looks at both sides of the situation—what needs to be helped and what has been gained from being part of a family that struggled. No family is perfect. Understanding how our family dynamic has affected us can point us in the direction of fixing what is broken and accessing tools we may not have known we had.”
