Free Recovery Lectures
Family of Origin
Presented by Don Lavender
What is taught to us by parents is rarely invented by our parents. They are inter-generationally teaching what was taught to them. If change is what we want, then what can we change? This lecture will look at how recovery gives us an opportunity to make the shift, not only from knowing what to think toward how to think, but how to feel as well. Avoid judging thoughts as good or bad. Avoid judging feelings as good or bad. Judgment is futile at best and our histories are as much something that we are supposed to feel our way through as think our way through.
