A mountain off your shoulders. How to identify and overcome 13 psychological prohibitions

How to shed the heavy burden of limitations that hinder personal development?
Have you noticed how often you think “it’s not my destiny,” “it’s just a curse,” or “I’ll never succeed”? Drawing on the theory of transactional analysis and many years of professional experience, psychotherapist Maria Fabricheva explains that such thoughts are most likely caused by the life scenario and psychological prohibitions learned in early childhood. The author also demonstrates how historical events of the 20th century, in particular the Stalinist terror, influenced the formation of these prohibitions at the cultural level, analyzes how these prohibitions influenced the education system and social norms and still limit our thinking and behavior.

However, psychological prohibitions are not a sentence. “A mountain off your shoulders. How to Identify and Overcome 13 Psychological Prohibitions,” filled with specific advice and exercises, inspires you to take responsibility for your present, activate your internal resources, and finally dare to lift that heavy mountain off your shoulders.
