About this episode

What patterns show up in your family when things get really stressful during tense moments? In this episode, let's delve into Family Therapy, which helps improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships!

Key takeaways

  1. 1

    Roles like peacemaker, rebel, and fixer are positions in a system, not personalities.

  2. 2

    Repeated arguments usually follow a predictable choreography.

  3. 3

    You can change your step without waiting for anyone else to change theirs.
