Invisible Structures Pt II

Attachment Theory and Modern Family

Today we look at attachment theory through the rich dynamics of that classic show - “Modern Family”.

Understanding Emotion: Attribution Theory

We often attribute someone else’s bad behaviour to their personality but our own bad behaviour to circumstances. Where we attribute cause influences where we place blame and has a huge effect on the meaning we attribute and feelings about that situation. Today we consider attribution and its effect on our emotions.

Invisible Structures Pt II

Today we look at part 2 of invisible structures. How to know, understand and navigate these invisible structures that operate within us and around us and between us.

Relationships: Social vs Personal Respect

Should respect be something that is practiced by all or something that is given to all? There are many social nuances to respect related to how we behave and how we treat each other. Should respect be given freely or should it be earned? How do our actions influence the respect we recieve?

Relationships: Respect Pt III: Power Dynamics, Punishment and Creating a Family Culture of Respect

The final part of our trilogy of respect we look at power dynamics, punishment and how to approach conflict with the aim of understanding and communication instead of control and manipulation. Family is something that can be a constant where we learn lessons about relationships that we can apply to the wider world.
