Discover the Hidden Patterns That Shape Us

Hi Reader,

Lately, I’ve been reminded of just how much our families shape us in ways we don’t even notice until years later. The stories we grow up with, the roles we’re asked to play, even the things that aren’t said… all of these leave imprints that carry forward into how we work, love, lead, and live right now.

We all know that families are beautifully complex. With the wisdom of over 30 years in counseling and mediation, Dr. Swisher offers a compassionate roadmap for anyone seeking to understand how family dynamics shaped us and how awareness can lead to healing and growth.

This book reminds us:

How roles like “caretaker,” “rebel,” “clown,” or “peacemaker” take shape and how they influence us for a lifetime
The surprising power of genograms (three-generation family maps) to uncover hidden connections
Insight into boundaries, estrangement, and the way unspoken rules ripple across generations
Real-life stories of families who found clarity, understanding, and a new path forward

What I love most about this book is its gentle invitation: to look at where we’ve come from, not with blame or fear, but with curiosity and courage. As Dr. Swisher reminds us, “It’s not a question of whether your family is dysfunctional, only how it is.” And in that discovery lies the chance to grow.

Whether you’re reflecting on your own family history, navigating conflict in the present, or guiding others as a parent, counselor, or coach—Family Dynamics is a meaningful companion.
