Individuality: Separating The Present From The Past
from The Healing Corner with NicoleHeals Hosted by NicoleHeals
In this episode NicoleHeals expands on the idea of individuality and space, and uncovers additional layers to family enmeshment, including an interesting historical lens. Many families rely on enmeshment for emotional safety, which help to contribute to the formation of family roles. These roles do their job of keeping everyone in line, and both mentally and emotionally allows children to stay aligned with their parents. Yet in exploring the true functioning of family roles, NicoleHeals uncovers the adverse affects to an individuals sense of identity, as well as the deeper underbelly behind their enforcement. Additionally, NicoleHeals uses a historical lens to further explain the function of enmeshment and family roles for people of color, using Black American history as an example, to show how communities of color have utilized enmeshment for physical safety and genuine survival while being displaced, as well as undergoing and fleeing genocide. In this understanding, it is felt that we can all gain perspective to our individual and collective family struggles, while also understanding the options we have to today, and removing the guilt in utilizing them. Enjoy, and as always, happy healing!
