Breaking Down Generational Dysfunction | Episode 5


Listen Later

In this episode, I wanted us to start understanding what breaking generational dysfunction looks like and what it doesn’t. (Hint: it’s not a curse or a sin!). I’m here today to give you some examples of where it started and how we can be the “chain breakers” to end the toxic examples of our parental past.

I mentioned that I pulled our posing question from Sharon Peykar on Instagram. I highly recommend going and following her over at @sitwithsharon or https://www.instagram.com/sitwithsharon/. She is not only a relationship coach, but she is also a licensed therapist!

The question she presented was, “Growing up in dysfunction made me think this was normal. . .”

It took me a long time to realize that the sins/or toxicity of my mother didn’t just start with her. If we dig into the “why” our mothers (or fathers) do the toxic things they do toward us, maybe we can have some empathy or understanding of their dysfunction and learn to change that behavior in our own families.

In this episode, I want you to start thinking about:

  • How the choices you make today will honor or dishonor your future generations.
  • The dysfunction your mother has or had is not a reflection of how you will mother your children
  • What good traditions can you create that can last through the generations and be a new stronghold in your family?
  • What kind of family would you want if you could dream/pray it into reality? Don’t give up on this, it can happen!
