For millions of years, our ancestors were subjected to an ancient, tribal system that mapped the trajectory of their lives. Love, power, creativity, intimacy, and the ability to communicate were imprinted within their DNA and these traces can still be found within us. Our ancestors were only concerned with one thing– survival, but the values of our ancient families are still alive today and are part of us regardless of whether those values are now judged "good" or "bad."

Each family member still has a role and function in our lives, and without knowing, different members can affect us positively or negatively. Given the role that family has played for millions of years on our very survival, those relationships still have the power to elevate or diminish us.

So if you're hitting an upper limit, or you're facing something your father/mother never had to deal with, or you are involved in something he/she did poorly, you could be hitting an invisible threshold in which the survival based system won't let you pass.

It may be of paramount importance to explore the dynamics of this life giving – and sometimes life hurting – group. Together, in a safe environment, we can get inside these issues. Our goal is less about "fixing," our familial relationships than it is about understanding them so we can break through barriers and create success.
