"Helpful in understanding myself and my family~and thus develop more compassion for all of us!"
How I did it: I sketched out my siblings, my parents, their parents, their parents...(genogram...you can find online)...once you sketch it....you can look at different aspects of life in each couple/family...culture, marriage relationship, careers, education, illness/physcial/emotional, relationship style.... all of this information provides a view into ourselves from a sociological/historical perspective. We can often times realize why/how we became the way we did....patterns emerge...
Lessons & tips: Look at it with a kind eye...and realize why some people make the choices they make....
Resources: Internet, books on family genograms....interview family members...that part was good too....
People doing this are also doing these things:

Making a family tree or “genogram” is VERY helpful in seeing intergenerational patterns…sometimes we reenact the very patterns that have been passed down for generations~ then we may begin to realize that we can make “different” choices in our lives…
or we may begin to realize why we make certain choices in our lives…patterns….
It also helps to understand our ancestors better… and to have more compassion for ourselves and others as we realize we influenced by forces that are sometimes unknown to us…but as we become more conscious we can realize…we have the choice to make a new/better way! It’s very powerful!
