Publisher's Summary
In this audiobook, psychotherapist David Richo explores how we replay the past in our present-day relationships - and how we can free ourselves from this destructive pattern. We all have a tendency to transfer potent feelings, needs, expectations, and beliefs from childhood or from former relationships onto the people in our daily lives, whether they are our intimate partners, friends, or acquaintances. When the Past Is Present helps us to become more aware of the ways we slip into the past so that we can identify our emotional baggage and take steps to unpack it and put it where it belongs. Drawing on decades of experience as a psychotherapist, Richo helps listeners to:
- Understand how the wounds of childhood become exposed in adult relationships - and why this is a gift
- Identify and heal the emotional wounds we carry over from the past so that they won't sabotage present-day relationships
- Recognize how strong attractions and aversions to people in the present can be signals of own own unfinished business
- Use mindfulness to stay in the present moment and cultivate authentic intimacy

This book is incredibly eye-opening.
It's a little bit difficult to digest, certainly written at more of the university/post secondary level, not as accessible perhaps for someone who doesn't read often or who struggles with comprehension. At its core, the topic is relatively simple, but its inevitable expansion is rather complex. I love the way this book combines elements of Buddhism with the science of the mind. For victims or survivors of trauma with questions about who, what, and why, when and maybe even where, these pages (or words) certainly contain answers. They will most likely take more than one go to process it fully, for me personally. However, the contents are truly as invaluable as they are life-changing. I recommend it for anyone who is seeking to better understand how our past experiences help shape us and in what ways they affect our every day interactions as adults.
