Let go of family patterns - make your own choices
Contents of this online training about family patterns
You meet the expert and learn what contextual therapy is. You will receive tools to get the most out of this training.
In this session you will map out your family dynamics. You will gain insight into the patterns that currently hinder you and, together with the expert, you will create a personal genogram. You will also learn how your parents' behavior - often unconsciously or with the best intentions - has influenced you.
What role have you taken on at home? And does that role actually suit you as an adult? In this session you will discover what your over- and underdeveloped qualities are and how you can use them differently.
It is time for an inner conversation, according to the method of contextual therapy. During these exercises you become more aware of your individuality. The question 'why you do what you do' is now easier to answer.
Which responsibility really lies with you and which can you give back? With the help of this session you can translate that inner conflict into an adult dialogue.

Why this training?
It occurs in every family, to a greater or lesser extent: family patterns have crept in – often unconsciously and unintentionally – and can be passed on from generation to generation. Whether they are deep-rooted or seem more innocent; your family dynamics can certainly have a lot of influence on your daily life. For example, how you organize your life now, what you show of yourself and what choices you make.
In this training, which is based on scientific insights, you will learn to gain insight into your family dynamics. Those who understand their family better usually also understand themselves better. Because why do you keep doing what you do if it doesn't actually make you happy? Would you like to feel freer and receive concrete tools to let go of these old, often stuck patterns? Then this training can be an important first step.
