The Perfect Parent Trap: A Therapist's Guide to Flipping the Script on Traditional Parenting

The Perfect Parent Trap is a wake-up call for modern parents who are drowning in information yet feeling more anxious, burnt out, and disconnected than ever. After twenty-five years working with families, therapist Lisa Taylor reveals the real problem - it's not your child's behaviour, it's the invisible heartprints from your own childhood that still shape how you respond when stress runs high. This book offers something different. Not another technique to master, but an invitation to break free from inherited patterns of control, perfectionism, and fear. When you learn to respond to the child in front of you instead of reacting from the child within you, everything shifts. This isn't about doing more - it's about being more present, with yourself first, then with the people you love most. Your children don't need you to be perfect. They need you to be real.
