Healing Your Family Tree
Those who ignore their own family history are volunteers for lobotomies—deadening big chunks of their brains—the parts that sort out life, love, relationships and spiritual vitality.
It’s not just that family history wires thought habits, beliefs, emotions, character, self concepts, relationship patterns, world view, and hope or despair for the future. More, it’s that we are enslaved or liberated by our views of that history, regardless of its triumph or trauma. Research shows that those who make sense of family history gain hope for:
Improved marriages
Emotional vitality
Relationship healing
Stable kids
Quality family life
So if that sounds appealing, hang around. Popping into this blog occasionally, you’ll find a mix of research, personal stories, historic figures, public personalities and biblical wisdom plus the inevitable mystery or quiz intertwined for our shared adventure.
We’ve invited a panel of experts to launch us on our way:
MURRAY BOWEN: Inspiring renowned programs named for him at Georgetown University, this was a revolutionary Bowen discovery: Those who deal with family-of-origin issues make faster, more profound progress in marriage repair and quality than those in traditional marriage therapy.
JAMES FRAMO: Another giant in secrets of retro-fitting families, this was a revolutionary Framo discovery: One single multi-generation family session can out-produce extensive individual therapy, as work with the family group unleashes powerful emotional and relationship repair.
DANIEL SIEGEL: Internationally acclaimed UCLA expert on attachment issues, shows how those who find meaning in the past – including left-over family trauma – shed emotional baggage and gain a richer inner life that nurtures their own children into higher levels of emotional and relationship health.
MOSES: Should send a cosmic-shout, “I told you so!” to all of the above and to the rest of us. Millennia ago he promised a new crop of family blessing to those willing to admit not just their own blunders, but also ancestral errors (Leviticus 26:40-45). If only my great-grandfather, Billy--the family alcoholic--had listened. Could have saved my chromosome connections rivers of trickle-down grief….
On this point, Murray, James, Daniel and Moses are synchronized: Few moves can pack the payoff of scrutinizing your family history. So come on back. Hang out. Just wait and see….
Meanwhile, here’s a brain teaser for your next rendezvous here:

BRAIN TEASER #1
What U.S. President’s estrangement from his verbally and physically abusive father resulted in refusal to visit his dying father; refusal to attend his father’s funeral; and refusal ever to place a headstone on his father’s grave? As for trickle-down impact, how would you expect his own family history to mold relations between this President and his kids – and with his spouse?
