Why do families matter to us so much, and why do they drive us mad? Why do some families survive enormous adversity whilst others fragment? Bestselling psychotherapist Julia Samuel explores these questions in her newest book, Every Family Has a Story: How We Inherit Love and Loss.

“I loved writing this book,” says Julia. “It has changed my relationship with my own family by giving me a greater depth of understanding, and therefore compassion. I hope you will enjoy it.”

Every Family Has A Story sees Julia Samuel turn from her work with individuals to sessions with a wide variety of families. Diving deep into eight case studies, with her usual storytelling panache and the latest academic research, she analyses a range of common issues including separation, step-relationships, leaving home, trauma and loss. In doing so, she reveals insightfully how deeply we are influenced by our families — including the often under-appreciated impact of grandparents and siblings — and offers universally applicable insights into how families can face challenges together.

Her twelve touchstones for family wellbeing — from fighting productively to making time for rituals, and from setting boundaries to allowing difference — provide us with the tools to ultimately be better family members ourselves and to create the families we desire.

This live webinar includes time for audience questions.
