Understanding Family Dysfunction – Week 3

As a result of a marital crisis, I began therapy for codependency and began to work on my issues from childhood. During this time, I realized my unhealthy behaviors and the mistakes I had been making in my marriage. I joined a Christian support group and began learning healthy ways of relating, the need for healthy boundaries and received healing from my childhood emotional pain. The education I received from my support group was just what I needed to break the pattern of dysfunction in my own family unit. In conclusion, I am a testimony of how seeking professional help (such as therapy) along with getting into a supportive Christian environment (support group), can create healing as well as breaking the cycle of dysfunctional family relationships.
