Showing results for "Hansen" in Dysfunctional Families

Psykologen Ida arbejder med et af sin professions mest følsomme og kontroversielle emner: tvangsfjernelse af børn. En dag, da hun er forkølet, giver hun sig til at læse en meget omdiskuteret bog af præsten Søren Krarup. Bogen "Forsvar for familien" maler et billede af den danske familie som et sikkert tilflugtssted for sine medlemmer, hvor man altid er god nok, og hvor alting fungerer. Idas oplevelser fra sit arbejdsliv er imidlertid ganske anderledes.

My mother is a loving individual, who really tried her best. However, decades of physical, emotional, psychological, and verbal abuse really takes its toll on a person’s psyche. I understand my mom was at the receiving end of extreme violence and abuse. I really want to be there for her. But she is too much for me. Her negativity, her nagging, her insecurity, and lack of emotional maturity have all made her a toxic person to be around. Worst of all, I enabled her. This is that story.

Living with a parent who can be loving one minute and capriciously cruel and destructive the next is a familiar story shared by millions of abuse survivors around the world. This is the story of Curtis Dickman, a renowned neurosurgeon who faced his own demons and, in the process, discovered a process that helped not only himself, but countless others. A true story of survival and triumph.
