Between Your Childhood and My Today
How your childhood shapes your life as a highly sensitive person and what you can do differently today.
A brief remark stays with you long afterwards. You look for the fault in yourself first. You need quiet, but feel guilty asking for it. Perhaps you want to understand where these reactions come from and what you can do differently today.
In this book, Mars Kaiser combines personal stories with clear explanations and everyday examples. The 277-page English PDF edition costs a one-time payment of US$9.99.
PDF + EPUB + audiobook: all included for just US$9.99

Who is this book for?
For highly sensitive people who want to understand their reactions today and explore their childhood and teenage years. For you, if questions about self-worth, belonging, boundaries or closeness are on your mind. And for parents who want to reflect on what they bring from their own history and how they relate to their children.
What to expect
22 chapters explore your life today, childhood and adolescence, your path as an adult and life with children. Personal stories sit alongside clear explanations and concrete everyday situations. Experiences that gave you support also have their place.
The book explores self-worth, belonging, boundaries, closeness and the need for quiet. Further chapters look at accepting support and finding a way back to each other after arguments or scolding.
What you can understand more clearly
You will read about how earlier experiences may relate to your reactions today. Why you might adapt quickly to others, carry criticism with you for a long time or notice your own needs only later. The book offers ideas for taking a closer look and trying different responses in everyday life.
What you can take into everyday life
You can explore what you need today and which familiar reactions no longer fit your situation. You will find reflections on expressing boundaries, accepting support and reconnecting after a difficult moment. If you care for children, their own view of the world is also a central part of the book.
A personal look at childhood and life today
In this book, I bring together personal stories, explanations and everyday examples. I want to take a closer look at what we carry with us and how we respond to it today.
Looking back is not only about difficult experiences. The things that gave you security, belonging or support are also part of your story.
Your child is seen as a person in their own right, with their own needs. The aim is not to project your history onto your child, but to notice your differences and understand each other better.
