It took a turn

So my genogram took a turn. I figured it should really be mine so I made it that way. The prior look was too historical. It was time to connect with now.

It is not done yet. No apologies, right? If you're in my family and you're on here, I love you.
ps)I'll never tell what all the symbols mean, unless they are attached to your name and you ask.





Painting this has been about as therapeutic as actual therapy. I remember when my own therapist drew my genogram with Crayolas and I watched. I had this strange calm come over me---just watching him put the lines and colors on the paper had a hypnotic affect (a-FECT). If you would ever like me to do a genogram interview and drawing of your own family, just ask. I'd love to share the experience.

I'm happy you made it your own. It's your family who made you who you are after all.
