With ancestry therapy, you can work with your relationships to your kinfolk without involving them.Your ancestors play a very important role in your self-understanding.

Weighed down by a bad conscience, guilt, or feelings of inadequacy? Do you begin to sweat or have fearful thoughts if you make someone feel bad, or if you are close to someone who isn't doing well? Do you often deny yourself in order to say yes to others, and thus avoid a guilty conscience? If so, this book is tailor-made for you. A guilty conscience can both guide and misguide you. Sometimes it can show you the way to make amends. Other times it might pressure you into doing more than you have the strength and energy for, or perhaps to sacrifice yourself and your values. See Yourself with Friendly Eyes provides various tools for examining your guilty conscience and letting go of the exaggerated part of it that unnecessarily weighs you down. The book also shows you how to adjust your personal rules of conduct to feel less guilty, rid yourself of guilt belonging to someone else, and take responsibility for the guilt that's yours while sharing the rest with others when relevant. And you also receive guidance in forgiving yourself. See Yourself with Friendly Eyes includes a test to measure how prone you are to developing a guilty conscience. "A bad conscience doesn't necessarily have to be permanent; it's something we can work on. Ilse Sand manages to describe the processes of the conscience in a kind way. The book is warmhearted and easily understood, and it sends the reader - a friendly eye."The Journal of Psychotherapy, issue #4, 2020 ¿Ilse Sand is a Denmark-based psychotherapist and pastor.
