Modern Family

Fall 2016 Time: Thursdays 3:30pm
We will be discussing and processing aspects of your childhood and how certain
events impact you as an adult. The focus is on the present and how relationships,
self-worth, and functioning impact you. The intention of the group is not to blame
or judge parents, caregivers or family members, as they are people who make
mistakes and are not perfect, but to assist students in understanding certain
family dynamics/beliefs that are carried with them into adulthood. Within group,
we hope you can gain insight and understanding into your family dynamics in order
to learn more about how they might impact your self-esteem and relationships at
work, with friends, family, and romantic partners.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER FOR GROUP
 Are there certain patterns that you feel exist within your family?
 How might your self-esteem have been impacted by your childhood and
family interactions?
 Can you identify some basic beliefs you have developed within your family?
 What are some conflicts you have in your present intimate relationships that
trouble you?
 How do you think your family dynamics might affect your communication
style within group?
 Do you play a certain role within your family that may affect the role you
play within group?
