A ground-breaking framework for addressing childhood baggage, and helping our kids to grow up with less of it

In our early years we lay down the blueprint for being a partner, parent, sibling, friend, colleague, neighbour and citizen. But even the best childhood is imperfect and leaves many of us struggling to manage our moods and emotions as adults.

Experienced family therapist Richard Hogan has seen it all. And he has worked with countless people to help them overcome an uncertain start.

In Home is Where the Start Is Richard reveals stories from the therapy room and from his own childhood. And he shares failsafe techniques to get over the legacy of early challenges.

Home is Where the Start Is will help you become the best version of yourself you can be. And if you are a parent, it will support you in giving your child the best possible start.
