Is your family functional or dysfunctional?

Doctor Zest takes on "The Family" and describes the awesome power that it has...and HAD on you. Dr. DJ was the first psychologist to fully differentiate and describe functional vs. dysfunctional aspects of families. In this 30 minute podcast he takes you on a journey of how the family shapes the children in it, and how that creates the adults we are, and associate with, today. Learn to see through what people are "presenting" to you as their "social self." Learn how to understand yourself better. Dr. DJ also provides a clear description of the Intolerance=>Tolerance=>Acceptance=>Affirmation Continuum, explaining how a healthy - or functional - family treats its members, particularly its influence with regard to the power of affirming the child as it develops. In the next podcast, Doctor Zest (aka Dr. DJ aka Dr. Dallmann-Jones) will go over the 8 symptoms of the dysfunctional family and what can be done to change it.
