The Psychology of Family Roles - how do they affect our lives?
Have you ever wondered why you always seem to be the person in your family who does x? Or why someone else never does y? This is because we all have roles in our family. You might be the peacemaker, or the family baby. The black sheep or the scapegoat.
In this mini-episode, we explore how these roles can affect our lives - and what we can do about it. Perhaps you are the family joker & mascot? The truthteller who gets shunned & silenced? These are a few of the roles that we can find ourselves playing in our family. What are the payoffs of the roles we play? What are the costs? And how do they come about? It's no accident, that's for sure.
