About the Author

We enter the world shaped by the blueprint of our existing family legacies, and intergenerational patterns which form our personalities, ways of being, acting and thoughts around our given stories.

Through our first experiences and relationships with parents, caregivers and our surroundings- we learn to determine our self-worth, expectations and decide what to expect and accept from others and the world. This sets the tone and template for our relationships with those around us, partners to come and how we derive purpose. In order to live with the lives we are given, we are taught to bury the overwhelming, confusing and shameful parts of ourselves.

The Glory in Us All explains through the stories of clients working with Dr Cassandra Aasmundsen-Fry, a Clinical Psychologist, how the knowledge and life we have buried is responsible for making us feel stuck in our relationships, careers and search for fulfilment. Integrating the knowledge we have buried in relation to epigenetics, attachment , intergenerational trauma, mental health and denied needs allows us to embrace ourselves for the first time and enter into a fulfilling life with meaningful relationships, purpose and a sense of contentment.

The Glory in Us All is about unearthing and embracing the difficult parts to reconnect with ourselves and with hope.
