This book will offer a light-hearted approach to a really tough subject - FAMILY DRAMA!
Being identified as the family Black Sheep is a pretty big gut punch.
In this book Dr. Scoggins will share with you:
The components of the dysfunctional family and what objective they serve. She will help you understand how you fit into your role as the Black Sheep and the manipulation that was used to keep you there.Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries... You will gain clarity of what boundaries are, what purpose they serve, how to set them and the manipulative consequences that come when you assert your power.
Understand emotions that were created both to safeguard you and also to maintain the status quo of the family. This area poses some challenges as we will get into your belief system and how it was structured for the sake of maintaining the chaos. Dr. Scoggins will lead you on how to restructure emotions as a way to adopt a realistic and logical approach to emotions and your place in the world.
The role of your nervous system is explained because the trauma you experienced took over your entire system. This may be the reason you feel depression, anxiety, lack of attention, the imposter syndrome and so much more. When you experience trauma of any kind your body goes into a state of fight or flight which is an internal alarm signaling danger.
Reality checking and self-love because you learned just the opposite. Dysfunctional families teach what will aid in the chaos as opposed to helping the children grow up with a healthy mind, body and spirit. So it is imperative to challenge those old thoughts and behaviors so that you can create new ones that align with your current mental wellness.
The big decision of contact vs no contact with your family. In my personal experience and with clients this has been the hardest decision to make. Family knows how to manipulate you into believing that they care and you are valuable so it becomes a double edged sword whether you decide to stay or go.
Creating new relationships are vital to your emotional recovery. As humans we strive in close relationships and it is vital for our mental wellness. Though many Black Sheep have taught themselves to remain in solitude for their own protection, the truth is we just do better together.
Self-reflection is an essential piece of moving forward. The Black Sheep learned to focus on the needs of others and forgo their own as a way to create real or perceived safety. This is the reason I hear from so many Black Sheep that meditation, mindfulness and journaling is exceptionally challenging. Dr. Scoggins also agreed this was hard for her in the beginning. But this is the way to release those olds scripts and to replace them with your own!
The power of something greater than yourself will help you release placing all the responsibility on yourself. Dr. Scoggins realized that when she dropped into her faith, life began to feel easier. She has also taught her clients how to do this. For her faith does not mean religion but rather connecting to a power source that is like your eternal guide and separate from your thoughts, beliefs and perceptions.
Creating the rest of your life is within your grasp. Dr. Scoggins knows that you were conditioned to listen to and carry out some BS story about yourself but now is the time that you get to reclaim how this all goes. She will help you understand your power, how to access it and how to stop allowing others to suck it from you.
Dr. Scoggins's hope is to guide you through some really tough moments that may feel insurmountable but she knows your strength as you have so far survived this horrible family assignment. Now it is time to choose you and make the changes that are both scary and rewarding. In this story the Black Sheep creates and becomes the victor.
