Discovering how you each belong
We all came from somewhere. We are all part of a system. Family therapy is a time and space to see what it might be like to explore the roles you have within your family. To explore the roles of each of the family members. Sometimes this is about your family of origin and other times it’s about the families you have created, no matter they are all related. We are all multigenerational beings. Family therapy is an interactive group experience to explore, repair, and learn about each other. It’s a time to reflect on how you show up in your family and where that came from. It’s a time to learn different ways to communicate and how to see each other. It’s about feeling the disconnection so you can repair the
connection.I think most of us as parents do the very best we can with the tools that we have at the time. I first learned about wholehearted parenting from one of my inspirations and teachers, Brene Brown. I realized then that the difference between “parenting” and “wholehearted parenting” was about being truly authentic with my relationships with my children. Which, is not easy.
Parenting is not about being perfect, and it’s not about sheltering our children from pain or emotions. It’s about being real and allowing ourselves to show up and be seen even with our children so that they can feel safe in allowing themselves to be seen too. Finding that balance is sometimes tricky and that’s where our work comes in. Allowing our children to see us also cultivates and supports their own intuition while creating healthy relationships with our children and modeling behavior that will allow our children to embrace the life that owe all dream for them. I look forward to working with you as you explore your own roles as parents and to hold space for the parenting wounds that you may be holding in that process.
