“It is the relationships we experience within our families that shape who we are, how we feel about ourselves, and how we attach and relate to others.” —Elaine Gibson, Author
For adults looking to better understand themselves and their families of origin, parents wanting to create and maintain healthy family ecosystems, and therapists seeking practical ways to work with clients, Your Family Revealed is an essential resource.
A Note from the Author
“Having been a psychotherapist for fifty years working with hundreds of individuals, couples and families, and teaching graduate courses in Marriage and Family Therapy, I earnestly want to share some of the principles of Family Systems Theory in accessible language; thus, providing a guide to help you better understand yourself and your family.
It is my desire that by sharing clear examples, insightful exercises, and reflection questions you will be able to successfully navigate the hidden patterns, unwritten rules, conscious and unconscious roles, and subtle mythologies that make up your family’s unique dynamics.
I hope that you will find this guide to be a powerful new way to understand your family which will help you to transform your present and future relationships.”
