Summary
In this audiobook, psychotherapist David Richo explores how we replay the past in our present-day relationships - and how we can free ourselves from this destructive pattern. We all have a tendency to transfer potent feelings, needs, expectations, and beliefs from childhood or from former relationships onto the people in our daily lives, whether they are our intimate partners, friends, or acquaintances. When the Past Is Present helps us to become more aware of the ways we slip into the past so that we can identify our emotional baggage and take steps to unpack it and put it where it belongs. Drawing on decades of experience as a psychotherapist, Richo helps listeners to:
- Understand how the wounds of childhood become exposed in adult relationships - and why this is a gift
- Identify and heal the emotional wounds we carry over from the past so that they won't sabotage present-day relationships
- Recognize how strong attractions and aversions to people in the present can be signals of own own unfinished business
- Use mindfulness to stay in the present moment and cultivate authentic intimacy

Mind blowing.
Arguably one of the most important books you will ever read especially if you are not familiar with the notion of transference. You might need a second reading of the first chapters though.

Laborious
Whilst the message of this book is of value and I understand the thoughts behind the process, I found this a laborious listen. I have persevered about three quarters of the way through and now frankly given up as I would prefer to spend my time listening to or reading material that spurs me on. I found it convoluted and repetitive, notwithstanding the importance of the message it was trying to convey.

I full and insightful book
I loved the book, it answered so many questions about why we behave how we do.
I’d recommend it to anyone who is repeating patterns of behaviour and has an inkling it may come from childhood and growing up. It will definitely help anyone on a soul search and spiritual pathway to understanding themself

Fantastic
I picked this audiobook straight after finishing another audiobook by the same author. Enjoyed it as much as I did the first one. As I write this review, I'm starting to listen to a third book by the same author.
I find the narrator's voice very soothing and in line with the book's valuable message.
