Family doesn't even have to be family, to be family! Family can be a tight group of friends. Sometimes, for reasons outside our control, we have to choose our family and that's every bit as valid as the family we didn't choose! Families can be wonderful, loving and full of warmth and laughter. They can be comforting, offering us security and a sense of belonging. They can also be messy, difficult, infuriating and confusing. They can be all of these things and much more over the course of our lifetime. How we navigate that comes down to the choices we make. This book is therefore designed with family in mind. Bursting with useful tips and strategies to appreciate, engage with, enjoy, connect and reconnect with your family, and get back on an even keel. Sometimes all we need is a little nudge to reframe our thinking so we can see a different perspective and access a different outcome or opportunity.
