In this 2nd edition of the bestselling book, author Jenny Brown examines how our self-awareness and maturity and built by our relationships, and that it’s not necessarily the comfortable relationships that promote personal growth.

You will see how to help others without fostering dependency, and how to determine what kind of help you or others want from therapists. Drawing from Bowen family systems theory, Growing Yourself Up takes you on a journey through each stage of life to see predictable patterns of relationships and to show how to use this knowledge to make purposeful adjustments in yourself; as well as lending a mature helping hand to others.

The result is a sturdier self, sturdier relationships and a refreshing new way to view life’s challenges and opportunities.
