Discover The Complicated Web We Weave

The Complicated Web We Weave is a deeper look at the family you grew up in. Discover what makes families so complicated. What Family System Patterns were present in your family? Find out how Family and Individual Development are woven into the pattern of your family. Look inside the Types Of Families That Produce Dysfunctional Behavior Patterns. Chapter Four gets right into the middle of the issues.


Chapter IV

Oh The Complicated Web We Weave

Family System Patterns

Family/Individual Development

Types Of Families That Produce Dysfunctional Behavior Patterns

Families Take Lots Of Work


Family Patterns

Understand how your family you grew up in passed on dysfunctional patterns through the multigenerational emotional process. Okay, I know that was a mouthful. Let me explain.


First, multigenerational means the patterns you learned which came down from parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and possibly further back.


Now, for the second part of that phrase “emotional process” means the feelings you are encouraged to express and the feelings no one wants to talk about. This also refers to your emotional development. In “From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey” you discover how to identify your dysfunctional family patterns and decide how you want to do them differently in the future.


What does “dysfunctional” mean? I know you’ve heard it many times. It means you are being, doing, feeling, thinking, and acting in unhealthy ways. Later in this chapter, you will have a chance to see how your family patterns were healthy or unhealthy. You will learn Transformational Journaling techniques to choose how you want to do, be, feel, think or act differently. There’s a picture in the eBook to help you understand dysfunctional and functional.


Family/Individual Development

Identifying the differences between functional and dysfunctional family systems requires a basic understanding of the developmental stages of each family member plus the developmental stages of the family. These two development processes are happening at the same time. They often lead to confusion, miscommunication, and misunderstanding in families. When you understand these processes, you are able to better manage the tasks of each stage.



Types Of Families That Produce Dysfunctional Behavior Patterns

You learn about the four types of family systems that produce dysfunctional adults. You identify your dysfunctional family patterns. You use Transformational Journaling “Focus Points” to determine how you can vary those patterns toward the healthy/functional patterns presented.



These behavior patterns follow what you learned as a child about your role in the family in order to survive. Adult children survive in life and DESPERATELY try to find out how to live life without the necessary tools to do so. Sound familiar?



Families Take Lots of Work

Contrary to popular belief, families are actually quite complicated. There are a lot of pieces to weave together. Just think about all the people you know and the differences in each of their families. Variety is certainly the spice of life when it comes to families.



Besides all those differences in families, you have all the individual members growing, developing, and having their own personalities. Add to the mix the personality of the family, the personality of the families the parents grew up in, and their ancestors. It’s sometimes amazing we all come out as good as we do.



But…add the additional dysfunctions of substance abuse/chemical dependency, childhood abuse/neglect, chronic physical or mental illness, and authoritarian families and you increase the potential for problems that can seem overwhelming.


Take your Transformational Journaling to the next level! Do this in the 6 week “Your Soul Transformed” teleseminar where You are guided to clarify all the steps in Your Inner Journey. Sign up here and join me as I walk with you just like I did with my Adult Children groups.


Peace and contentment on your journey,

Hmm—Pondering Life


Journey Down Your Self-Discovery Path

Your journey to transform your soul begins when you start journaling. This is your personal path of self-discovery. Transformational Journaling is the method I used to identify the life events and the impacts they had on my functioning. Now, that sounds pretty overwhelming on first blush. Find out how Mrs. H. Transformed her Soul and Re-Created her life in the eBook “From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey”.


Guide To Your Soul Transformation Path

This is a lifetime process of discovering who you are. The process occurs on a continuum. You can be at many points on the continuum depending on the thoughts and feelings you are experiencing at any given time. As soul transformation progresses, you spend more time at the self-love end of the continuum than at the denial end. The process of soul transformation goes through five stages I explain in detail in the book.


You are provided a healing framework designed especially for you and specific tools to use in your healing process. Tools, including specific journaling methods, are given and how to put them into practice is provided through Focus Points.


Transformation Tools

Adult children need to trust their instincts and find healthy ways out of the dysfunctional patterns. Transformational Journaling provides the techniques to identify and adopt healthy life patterns.


Transformational Journaling is a process of internal inquiry about life events and the impacts they have on your functioning. There are a number of techniques offered in the eBook, "From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey", you may find useful at different times in the journey to transform your soul.


Explore and work with each technique to find out what helps in your Soul Transformation. This journal is not designed to take the place of working with a mental health therapist. However, you may find this journal helpful in your therapy sessions.


My wish for you is you will find these Transformational Journaling techniques helpful in your Soul Transformation. Many of my psychotherapy clients were able to move more quickly through their Soul Transformation using Transformational Journaling techniques.


Gather Your Tools

What are the specific tools to guide a person through Soul Transformation? These take many different forms. What I found most useful is a combination of techniques.


I provide Focus Points throughout the eBook to apply in your own Soul Transformation process.


Plan to write daily for ten to fifteen minutes in the beginning just to become acquainted with your life as you are presently living it.


Use the Focus Points in the book, like this one, to help you get started.

TJ Focus Points—Use Stream-of-consciousness writing

· Write about what happened in your day

· Who did you encounter?

· Were there any significant issues that you were able to identify?


Learn the next step for using this tool in the eBook “From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey” available online at www.yoursoultransformed.com/innerjourneybook_dw.htm.

You are given alternative recovery tools including use of affirmations and guided imagery.


You experience the use of these tools in teleseminars.


More about the teleseminars next time.


Your Guide on Your Path to Transform Your Soul and Re-Create Your Life,

Debra

Join me on Your Inner Journey: “Come Play In My Sandbox”

Join me on Your Inner Journey: “Come Play In My Sandbox” where you find out more about who are adult children and what are dysfunctional families. This brief overview gives you an idea of what to look forward to on Your Inner Journey.


Chapter II

Come Play In My Sandbox

Start With Family

Are You An Adult Child From A Dysfunctional Family (ACDF)?

Who Are Adult Children And How Are They A Part Of The Dysfunctional Family Cycle?

The Dysfunctional Family Cycle

Mood -Altering--What Was Your Choice?


Here’s a brief look at Chapter II


Start With Family


We all learn from our families we grew up in how to be, think, do, feel, behave, give, and have in this world. Families give us our behavior patterns, our thinking patterns, our doing patterns, our feeling patterns, our attitude patterns, our giving patterns, and our having patterns. Some families do this in a functional or healthy way and other families do this in dysfunctional or unhealthy ways. Most families fall somewhere in between.


Are You An Adult Child From A Dysfunctional Family (ACDF)?


I want to help you understand the specific ACDF patterns. You can begin to identify these patterns in current contacts and determine changes of your choice toward healthier functioning.


Who Are Adult Children And How Are They A Part Of The Dysfunctional Family Cycle?


Adult children engage in a series of behavior patterns that become rigid and inflexible to allow a sense of being in control of their life. In actuality, their life is totally out-of-control.


Do these shoes fit you? Then, you are reading the right book. When I first learned about adult children, I was surprised to find myself in this group. My parents lead me to believe our family was normal, healthy, and the model to follow to raise my children. Of course, the denial about sexual abuse/incest was never discussed. How dysfunctional is that?


The Dysfunctional Family Cycle


The dysfunctional family cycle is the multigenerational multiplication of unhealthy behavior patterns. This means for every generation which is dysfunctional, more dysfunction is passed on to the next generation. These adults re-enact the dysfunctional family patterns in their daily lives.


Mood -Altering--What Was Your Choice?


Adult children fail to focus on their own emotional needs. They focus on something or someone outside of themselves. This allows them to mood-alter and avoid handling their own life and personal growth.


With Mood-altering behaviors, adult children allow their life to be controlled by work, home, family, church, school, recreation and anything or anyone that will keep them from considering their own emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. When their primary focus in life is on existing and trying to fit in with the rest of the world, they lose contact with the person they are and the harmony that comes from being in touch with their own reality. They are focused totally on reality outside themselves.


Do You fit into this picture? If your answer is yes, you are in the right place to Transform Your Soul and Re-Create Your Life. Join me in my Sandbox and bring Your Sense of Humor along. It’s okay to laugh and Move On to functional living.


Go Now to Invest in Yourself to Live a Life of Choice. Get your copy of “From Darkness to Light: Your Inner Journey”I’m looking forward to being your guide.


Peace and joy,


Debra
