#3 Your Family of Origin
October 6, 2022/

Time Out to Ask Why?
When you are reacting strongly or feeling irritated with the other…
Take a Time Out and ask: Why?
- Why am I reacting this way?
- Where is this coming from?
Notes
- It’s not ‘reality’ that forms us, but our perception of what happened.
- Two modes: Marital Role Models (observed) & Direct Interactions (relationship with each parent).
- Two reactions: Adopt or Reject – the point is… how free are we?
- Claim the Positive formation and be intentional about applying it.
- 3 ways of problem formation:
- Incompatible Expectations
- Compatible but Suboptimal Patterns
- Emotional Injuries
Bless you!
