Berlin, Germany – November 17, 2020 – Parents love their children, unconditionally and would do anything for them. The bond includes an unspoken promise to love, nourish, and protect them. As a result, there is a silent loyalty agreement by which children pledge to follow rules, be faithful to the family, and exhibit behaviors that align with expectations. If only the trials and tribulations of parenting were this simple – but they’re not! According to pediatrician and family therapist Maria Steuer in her new book Breaking Your Loyalty Contract, “What makes parenting a challenge is that your children are the only ones who can push you to or beyond your limits. If your boss pushes you to your limits. You can quit your job. If you’re in a relationship with a partner who pushes you past your limits – you can leave the relationship. However, your children are your children for life. And when their behavior stretches you to your limits, you have no choice but to face the challenge and find a solution.”
Steuer launched her book online through Amazon.com on November 11, 2020. Breaking Your Loyalty Contract will be available in fifteen countries. Breaking Your Loyalty Contract provides a reader with a set of mental tools and exercises you need to break embedded subconscious agreements with parents. Steuer says, “The decision to break these agreements empowers you to take back aspects of your personality you surrendered to your parents as a child. Doing this liberates you to be your true self and to view your children through a prism of who they are, instead of seeing them through the prism of what your parents expected you to be. The beauty of Breaking Your Loyalty Contract is that Stsuer has not written a recipe book that tells readers what to do or how to, so this is not a “how-to” parenting book. How-to books usually offer cookie-cutter parenting solutions that tempt parents to compare results to those that can be achieved according to the book. Steuer says, “This approach can cause you to judge yourself too harshly and sway you to believe you’re not a good parent when, in fact, you are. Instead, with Breaking Your Loyalty Contract, readers are encouraged to explore their childhood to discover why you think the way you think. The moment you understand your why, your how-to method will flow into your heart and be uniquely your own.”
Early reviews are promising. New York Times bestselling author Peggy McColl says, “Maria’s book, “Breaking Your Loyalty Contract,” encapsulates shattering stringent family paradigms through deep self-reflection. Steuer reminds the reader that it is possible to change and repair family dynamics. A must-read from an accomplished and knowledgeable author, who is also a family therapist.”
