You've probably don't realize this but every working day you replay and reenact complex dynamics and relationships from your past. Whether it's confusing an authority figure with the parent avoiding conflict because of a past squabble with siblings, or suffering from imposter syndrome, because of the way your family responded to success when it comes to working, we're all trapped in our own upbringings and the patterns of behavior we learned while growing up.
