“Growing Up; you spend the first 18 years of you life growing up and the rest of your life getting over it.”  [COMING Spring 2015]

This book explores the developmental tasks that each of us move through in the process of becoming a human and our subsequent launch into adulthood.  Its about the difficulties that we each face in our growing up years and then the positive and negative impacts that our formative experiences have on our life as an adult: parenting, romance, social, and work domains. It looks at the developmental tasks of 0-18 and then the process we can go through of re-parenting ourselves and the process of creating the life and relationships we want and need.
