Ancestry, Culture, and Identity, Pt. 1

This episode delves into the intricate relationship between ancestry, culture, and identity, illuminating how our familial histories shape our present selves. We, Michael Stratton and Morgan Bowen, alongside our producer Daedalian Lowry, engage in a profound exploration of these themes, prompted by a listener's inquiry into the significance of ancestry. Throughout the conversation, we reflect upon personal experiences with ancestry research, revealing patterns of behavior and health that echo through generations. The dialogue is enriched by anecdotes and insights into how our respective family histories inform our professional practices in mental health. Ultimately, we seek to understand the broader implications of these familial legacies on our identities and mental well-being.YouTube: What is a Genogram?Google Search: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk______________________Mike and Morgan welcome questions and comments Email: A PsychoDelicous ConversationRelated Podcast: Mike & Morgan on Behind the ConnectionMike Stratton's A Groove SupremeSpotify: Mike's Podcast, The Little Green Book
