The Origins of You

How breaking Family Patterns can liberate the way we live and love.

Vienna Pharaon is a licensed marriage and family therapist and one of New York City’s most sought after relationship therapists. She has been featured in The Economist, Netflix, Vice, and Motherly, and has led workshops for The Class, Peloton and Netflix, amongst others. 

In The Origins of You, Pharaon has unlocked a healing process to help us understand our Family of Origin—the family and framework we grew up within—and examine what worked (and didn’t) in that system. Unhealed pain (or “wounds”) in that Family of Origin will manifest in our adult behaviors in surprising ways, from work challenges to interpersonal struggles. But the good news: armed with the knowledge about our past, we can actually rewire our programming to meaningfully improve our relationships and our lives, right now and in the future.

Complete with guided introspection, personal experiences, client stories, frameworks for having difficult conversations, and worksheets to complement each chapter, The Origins of You will teach you how to break family patterns and help you liberate the way you live and love.
