Features: "I really love my parents, but I don’t want to see you, and sometimes I’m even afraid to be with them. I hate the way I act around them. Because in front of my parents, I always act timidly and can’t find my true self. I need my own ideas and judgments, to do the things I want to do." Respecting parents should be a mutual process between parents and children. Parents should give children space to create themselves, enabling them to approach their relationship with their parents with a mature attitude. Only in this way can they cultivate the wisdom to understand things and the courage to change themselves, finally embarking on the path of self-actualization. This is the meaning of all psychological therapy work.
