Human beings are part of a chain of meanings connected by the dimension of time. The first memory is bodily, a product of the care, thoughts, desires, and dreams that enveloped us. The mother nurtures her child, caring for it as best as she can. And in turn, when the time comes for that child to become a parent, they will return to this first memory of the womb, the memory that is indelibly recorded in the body before words appear.
From this, the person will draw the materials to become a parent in their own right. This book, Parenting Paths: How We Become or Do Not Become Parents, written by the esteemed psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Meropi Michaleli, is an exploration of the different paths that individuals and couples navigate as they confront the issue of parenting.
It delves into the social, psychological, and emotional factors that influence this decision, acknowledging that there is not a single 'correct' way to approach parenting nor a universal experience of it. The stories in these pages reflect the myriad ways in which people grapple with the concept of family – whether by choice, by circumstance, or by a combination of both.
It will give you the tools to raise your child with stability, understanding, and acceptance, while at the same time supporting you to take care of yourself – as a person, not just as a parent. With examples, questions, and introspective exercises, it helps you cultivate your mindful presence in everyday life.
