Episode 5- Against Familial Grains
Manage episode 379588034 series 3520014
What do you get when you cross maladaptive family dynamics with a resilient spirit and an intellectually curious mind? Evan and Eli share how their family dynamics have shaped their pursuit of excellence in psychotherapy as well as contributed to their own personal growth. Sit a spell and laugh with us as we contemplate:
- Familial social contracts
- Fears which arise in us while listening to clients’ narratives
- Importance of pursuing one’s passion
- Difference between purpose and meaning
- Enmeshment to the point of self-sacrifice
- How becoming healthier challenges family dynamics
- Assignment: Watch “Pray Away”
- Evoking shame to control/correct family members
- Paradox of being both emotionally obtuse and emotionally attuned
Please join us weekly as Tell Me About Your Mother discusses topics relevant to pursuing excellence in psychotherapy. Melissa Martin, Eli Branscombe, and Evan Miller are three licensed psychotherapists who have come together for peer supervision and in doing so, created Tell Me About Your Mother so that we can share our passion for psychotherapy with our fellow healers.
