Family of choice vs. Family of origin

by Leave a Comment

#6: Family of origin is the people who we are born into, or marry into.  While Family of Choice are the people that we choose to have involved in out lives.  These people will become like siblings, uncles, aunts or even surrogate parents for us.

In fiction family of choice is often used to help create a family with people that they have more in common with, especially when the main character has developed some type of supernatural powers.  The new family shares similar powers or secrets.

Wonder Woman

by Leave a Comment

#5: Let’s just geek out on Wonder Woman for a few minutes here.  I loved the movie, Lea liked the movie as a customer, not a fan.  We get to go into our likes about the movie and of course the fun, “Go Women, Pro Woman” voice that the movie promotes.  This is not a long episode, and there is not really any family therapy aspects in it, but we get to geek out on it.

Apologies

Just wanted to give a small heads up.  We had technical difficulties during our last recording and it was unbearable to listen to let alone fix. We are going to re-record that episode as well as a bonus episode.

thanks for all the support
