Mike and Jo discuss the foundations of the false self, how our infancy and childhood are the beginnings of the unconscious creation of roles that we use to receive acceptance and gives us a place in our dysfunctional families.
We have created a Thru the Wringer Facebook Community to support the GENTLE healing recovery from dysfunctional families which includes exposure to alcoholism, divorce, drug abuse, mental illness, neglect and sexual abuse. Of course, everyone has experienced pain, trauma, sorrow, and dysfunction. So what makes this group different? We are are group of people who actively want to work to obtain healing, freedom, and peace by supporting and interacting with one another. If you would like to join, click the link below!
