Did you know that harmful family patterns are nor always extreme? It is not always a story of a father that abuses his children, or a mother who is beaten. Sometimes family patterns are much more subtle, but still harmful.
Patterns like: lack of empathy, poor communication, perfectionism, fear, and criticism can really cause a lot of pain and heartache for members in a family.
This episode dives into 5 different common family structures and looks at the dysfunction of each. It is my hope that this episode is not shameful and that you don't leave discourages=d, but empowered on small changes you can make that will have a big impact.
Sending Love,
Norma
