How do we extend the reach of a genogram? 

Yes, genograms are essential to our understanding of family networks and narratives, but what if the people influencing us the most are the ones we see every morning when we scroll social media?

Are we including virtual contexts and connections in our assessments? And how do we do that in a non judgmental way?

In this episode I talk about the importance of considering virtual influences, on both ourselves and the people we support.
