Episode 59: On Fathers: Part Two - Family Histories, Generational Patterns, Humor, Vulnerability and Healing: A Discussion With Ryan and Jeremy
OpeningFamily HistoriesI describe what I know about the fathers of each of my four grandparents. Ryan describes his family background, his father's personal history and his grandfather's family and alcoholism.Jeremy discusses his family history and the move from indigenous life in rural, mountainous Mexico to Montana, Utah and Mormonism.12 minConnecting to Our Pasts - American Culture Focuses on the Now and Often Erases the PastWhat we know about the generations before us and how it impacts family dynamics. We are all part of a trajectory of humanity from one generation to the next, but American Culture reinforces a mythic individualism and often erases or distorts the past.20 minEmotional RegulationFocusing on parents' needs as children often leads to putting others first as adults. Children will always attempt to emotionally regulate their parents. We are biologically wired to soothe and help our parents in order to help them stabilize and be okay, but this can lead to ignoring needs and lack of boundaries as adults and in future relationships.27 minVulnerability as Brutal Honesty - Finding Humor in the Human ConditionBack to the difficulty of allowing yourself to be vulnerable. We love the comedians who are truth-tellers, telling difficult and emotional stories and finding humor on the stage - naked vulnerability. 32 minJeremy helps Kindergarteners learn how to regulate and he appreciates supporting them in dealing with all the big feelings. 40 minFinal ThoughtsWe land on some truths to keep us all going. Maintaining love is work. Intimate relationships demand work and compassion. 44 minI confronted my dad and let out some of the built-up frustration, disappointment and pain. Since then, I've been able to move forward and let go...and I continue to let go...and that process is never-ending. Ending54 minFrom the garage, Rebelle Harmony and Jonah sing "Learning to Fly"
