I have been reading up on the different forms of family therapies to prepare for my new job. It involves revisiting what I have read in SW 4101 including all the essays and readings. Reading my previous essays is quite an enlightening experience. Sometimes I will be in awe that I actually felt and thought in a particular sort of way. Other times it is encountering past questions that continue to haunt me.
A lot of times, identifying problems in families is not exactly difficult. It's how to get out of that cycle of behaviour that is difficult. To simplify things, let's start with myself. I often caught myself by surprise when I get emotional about certain things. Emotions that I never knew existed. I could revisit my past and tell you why I behave in a certain way. Why I am so complicated. So not what? How do I go about fixing this "problem"? It involves peering into my beliefs structure and shaking the foundations. It involves being open to the outpouring of emotions that have resulted from all the shaking. Are you willing to subject yourself to this?
