Join Dr. Bruce in her podcast, 'From Both Sides of the Couch,' as she welcomes Karly Danos, a fellow therapist and licensed professional clinical counselor. This episode is a comprehensive dive into the various roles we assume in our family of origin, exploring how these roles influence us beyond childhood. Dr. Bruce and Karly unravel the concepts of family roles and birthrights, discussing the idea that each of us carries a 'healthy adult self' that we can get to know better by understanding these dynamics.

In the first part of this two-part series, Karly provides an overview of different family roles and together, they explore how our roles are adaptations to our family systems and how they may create challenges or strengths in our adult lives. This episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own family roles and consider how these have impacted their personal development.

As they move to discuss the pivotal concept of birthrights—innate qualities or rights we are born with—Dr. Bruce and Carly set the stage for understanding how unmet birthrights can lead to struggles in adulthood. Don't miss this opportunity to gain deeper insights and prepare for the next episode, where solutions and strategies will be explored.
