I’ve recently been listening to an audio book by Alan Arkin called “Out of My Mind”. I don’t know if you know him, he’s an actor. He’s suggesting  each of us come to the earth with her or his own unique agenda; and somewhere along the way we as the creators of this agenda miss the opportunity to listen to that internal voice and implement what we can create for ourselves. It includes destiny decisions such as marriage and family, as well as education / vocation. So it’s a little heavy, a type of “journey” work for sure. But I think it has some traction for some of our families. I’d love to hear from you on this “journey” work and particularly if you’ve read Alan Arkin’s book: What do you think of his “Out of My Mind” concepts on this subject of birth with unique agendas that we create? Together we can bring meaning to the lives of your family members, not just the ones with behavior or emotional problems. I often collaborate with an outstanding therapist in these cases, Neil Brown. Together we make sense of what families are going through, and working together find successful outcomes of purposeful meaning. Contact us if you’re interested in moving your family forward…
