Our family is our first environment. Even before we have visual memories, as babies we were already navigating our family system, putting in place a pattern of connection-seeking that stays with us throughout the life span, and informs so much of who we are in relationship. Horizontal relationships (those betwen siblings) are just as important as the vertical ones (between parent and child). Whatever your experience of family has been; happy, connected, cut short, traumatic, abusive or neglectful, a space to explore parental and sibling bonds can assist those (and other) relationships to evolve.
