Hello, deserving listeners, you're just me today. I thought I would talk about family

of origin therapy in your previous episode. I talked about how I would talk about this

and some patrons were asking me to talk about it. So here we go. This is the Psychology

in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. I am chair of the couple and family

therapy program at Antioch University, Seattle. And I'm also a licensed marriage and family

therapist. Today I'm going to talk about family of origin therapy. I'm going to talk about

the history of family of origin therapy. I'm going to talk about the theory involved.

And I'm going to talk about my own experiences mainly in teaching family of origin therapy

to other family therapists. In my program, we walk our students through a version of family

of origin therapy for themselves. We help them apply the theory to their own life as a way

of helping them differentiate and helping them become more effective, more differentiated

therapists themselves. I also will talk about my experience working with clients regarding

family of origin therapy. Today's episode is a premium episode. In other words, it's

an episode that is just for patrons of the podcast. So if you're not a patron of the podcast,
