Embodied Self Therapy
About this episode

BOOK IN A FREE CHEMISTRY CALL WITH ME


In this episode, we unpack what makes up dysfunctional family systems, exploring general dynamics as well as focusing on some specific roles. 


NOTE: Throughout the episode, I refer to "family of origin," however these dynamics and roles apply to any family system you grew up in and are not exclusive to biological families.
