Dynamic Family

Hello again friends!

This week I learned all about the different types of boundaries that a family can put up. I was able to evaluate my own family and create my own Family Map. I also had the experience of reading this interesting piece about genograms. It involved Henry Fonda's genogram. I had no idea who he was, but after a Google excursion, I was able to learn a little bit about him and his life. According to the article, and what I learned from Wikipedia, he was close to a lot of people who committed suicide. The genograms were a little tough to follow, but so interesting! I am so excited to learn more about them!

Another thing that I learned was that when it comes to a family, the whole is better than an individual. I guess that was kind of something I already knew, considering you can't have a family without individual parts. Everyone plays an important part in the family. I am excited to do my own project and see what patterns I can find in my family!

Have a great weekend!
