There are four parts of every family that need to be cultivated to grow connection that lasts.
EXPERIENCES
The Foundation
The experience of childhood is one of the most formative in the world. It affects your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world. Learn how your family of origin is still shaping your family experiences.
EXPECTATIONS
The Framework
Every family has a structure. Most families don’t realize that their expectations for how things should be are structuring their family toward disconnection. Examine how expectations of rules, roles, and rights shape your family.
HABITS
The Covering
The warmth of every family is defined by the kinds of reactions, responses, and character traits that become normal. Are your habits creating a family temperature that’s too hot or cold?
Connection
The Growth
What is connection, really? It certainly seems to grow in some families more easily than others. Where does it come from and how do you maintain it?
