Origins of You: A Journey Back to the Beginning

March 11, 2025

Some books don’t just offer insights—they shift something within you. Origins of You by Vienna Pharaon is one of those books. As I’m making my way through it, I find myself pausing, rereading, and sitting with the weight of what she’s saying. It’s not just another book on healing or childhood wounds—it’s an accessible, yet deeply profound exploration of how our past shapes us.

What makes Origins of You stand out is the way Pharaon breaks down complex psychological concepts in a way that’s easy to understand without losing depth. She doesn’t just tell you that your patterns started in childhood—she walks you through how they formed, how they show up in your life now, and what you can do about them. There’s no fluff, no over-intellectualized theories—just clear, insightful explanations that make you stop and think, Ah, that makes sense.

And if there’s one thing this book reinforces, it’s that everything starts from within. It’s not about blaming our parents, our past, or our circumstances—it’s about understanding how those experiences shaped us so we can take ownership of our healing. Pharaon’s approach isn’t about wallowing in old wounds but about recognizing them, so we can stop them from dictating our present and future.

I’m still reading, but already, this book feels like one I’ll be coming back to. It’s the kind of book that meets you where you are, whether you’re just starting to explore your patterns or you’ve been doing inner work for years. If you’re looking for a book that makes self-discovery feel both manageable and deeply transformative, Origins of You is worth picking up.
