Ever wondered if your family fits into one of those classic dysfunctional moulds? Brianne Davis-Gantt, the host of Secret Life, takes you on a whirlwind tour through the seven types of dysfunctional families in this episode. With her engaging style and candid anecdotes, Brianne explores how these family dynamics - from enmeshment to authoritarianism - can shape who we become.
She doesn't just stop at identifying these types; she delves into the roles people often find themselves playing within these families, like the scapegoat or the hero. Brianne's approach is refreshingly honest, as she shares her own experiences and insights. It's a journey that promises both laughter and reflection, as she challenges you to consider your own family background. Are you carrying forward any patterns you'd rather leave behind?
If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle of dysfunction, this episode might just offer a few lightbulb moments. By the end, you'll be pondering which roles you might be playing and whether it's time to break free. So, why not give it a listen and see if you recognise any familiar traits?
