None of us were entirely prepared for life by our parents or caretakers.
And that’s understandable.
How could they teach us everything if they themselves were not given it all as well?
How could they anticipate all the challenges we would have if they, like anyone else, were products of their time?
Not to mention all the pain and losses we’ve witnessed our parents facing that also affected and even traumatized us during our childhood and adolescence.
In other words, families are inherently flawed and dysfunctional, as they are filled with a myriad of conflicting feelings, situations, and unresolved issues.
Love, hate, joy, past tragedies, closeness, neglect, union, revenge, frustrated dreams, companionship, ruptures, betrayals, and more love, traumas, addictions, diseases, big secrets, unconditional sacrifices, death, and more love, love, and love.
This is our history, our destiny as humans. No one ever escaped from that, and never will.
The only thing we can do is to empower ourselves and others with better tools to navigate this insanely mysterious journey called life.
Below are some courses that can help you with that.
All of them were created by Thais Gibson, an American PhD psychologist and founder of The Personal Development School—a platform offering over 60 online courses covering a variety of self-development themes, including:
- Communication skills
- Romantic relationships
- Parenting strategies
- Somatic techniques for emotional release
- Mental reprogramming
- Trauma healing
I love Thais’s approach because she possesses the two qualities I value most in professionals: empathy and competence. In my opinion, any therapist or coach lacking either of these traits will struggle to be effective in their work.
The five courses I have taken transformed me on a deep level, addressing issues I’ve struggled with for decades.

I would add the Bible to this list of helpful resources. Not only does the Bible contain wisdom distilled through the ages. It offers spiritual advice by which we can rightly direct our lives. Indeed, for believers, “The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit” (Heb. 4: 12).
