Why Can't I Ever Be Good Enough? Escaping the Limits of Your Childhood Roles

by Joan Rubin-Deutsch

The limits on an adult life were set in childhood, according to therapist Joan Rubin-Deutsch, in damaging "contracts" that were written without the consent, understanding, or best interests of the child in mind. In Why Can’t I Ever Be Good Enough? Robin-Deutsch explains how to identify which contracts are still in force, what it takes to break them, and how to rewrite or create brand-new contracts that will lead to more satisfying lives.
