Workshop: Genogram Method with Ekaterina Zhuikova | Feb 20 or Feb 21 | Copenhagen

I cordially invite you to join me and my colleague, Ekaterina Zhuikova (Nafplio, Greece), at our event: The genogram method: History of family relationships and their impact on our lives

We will run the event a few times and in different languages – so hopefully, one or the other time would work for you! 

Dates: 

Monday, Feb 20, 11.00-13.00 – in English

Monday, Feb 20, 18.00-20.00 – in Russian

Tuesday, Feb 21, 18.00-20.00 – in English

Cost: 300 Dkk

Ekaterina is a Clinical Psychologist, Family and Child Psychotherapist with 20 years of counseling experience, focusing on studying the influence of family history on actual life patterns and the intercultural context in human life.

Together with Ekaterina, you will investigate the methods of exploring your family’s history to understand the need that arises in moments of life when we are trying to comprehend our identity and expand our sense of ourselves. 

With the genogram method, we will display the family history holistically, compare the dates of key family events, explore the losses and difficult events experienced by the family, and build a sociogram of the relationship between your family members.

Together with Ekaterina, we will go more in-depth into studying your family history using the genogram method. That visually will support us not only in learning about our ancestors but also about relationships, experiences, significant events in their lives, and how they influenced the family’s life, our ancestors’ decisions, and intra-family relations.

You will be able to learn from practicing the method and look at the principles of building a genogram. Looking deep into your family’s history is a need that arises in moments of life when we are trying to comprehend our identity and expand our understanding of ourselves.

Registration:

Feb 20, at 11.00 (in English)

Feb 20, at 18.00 (in Russian)

Feb 21, at 18.00 (in English) 

We hope that you will be able to join us and share your reflections with us!

Sincerely, 

Anna

Memory as a room…
