The Recovered Therapist

The Facts are not the most important part of personal interactions, though we feel we want to tell “our side” of an interaction so we get the facts straight.  What is more important is the process between the people interacting.  Listen and watch for what is really going on or being talked about  rather than what is being expressed.Support the showSupport The ShowWe're eager to hear from you!

While siblings believe they share 'the same parents,' each child is born to parents who are virtually different people at different ages. Child 1 is born to the person who is at age 25, child 2 to the parent at age 30, and child 3 to the parent at age 40. Listen as Jeanie explains how these dynamics can lead to conflicts between siblings.Support the showSupport The ShowWe're eager to hear from you!

The Enneagram originated as an oral tradition about 2000 years ago in Afghanistan. It later spread to Asia, Bolivia, Chile, and eventually to the US, where Claudio Naranjo passed it on to a Jesuit priest, Bob Ochs, SJ. It became a course at Loyola University in Chicago in 1971. Based on a simple symbol, it explains the journey of self-discovery into personality types. It is said that the One God walked around dispensing nine aspects of Its personality. If one follows the compulsion for safety, it is a journey of self-salvation. But if one goes against that compulsion, the journey is one that looks at the One God for salvation. Today, there are many explanations of this work, and there is a lot of confusion.

The Welsh word 'hiraeth' is loosely translated to mean (n.) a homesickness or longing for a place you cannot return to, a home that may not have ever been—a yearning, a grief for a place that can never be revisited. Such grief and longing are experienced by children of divorce, addiction/alcoholism, death of parents, abandonment, who may feel orphaned by those experiences. These events ruptured their emotional development into adulthood, leaving them unable to articulate feelings of powerlessness and longing. Essentially, the orphan was left with no home base and no hope of changing the outcome. This orphan manifests in different ways during adulthood and can take many years to identify and heal.Support the showSupport The ShowWe're eager to hear from you!
