Dr Averil Earnshaw: 'Family Time' - Being Caught in Trans-Generational Age-Linked Events

Season 3

Episode 5
In today’s talk, psychiatrist and specialist child, adolescent and family psychotherapist, Dr Averil Earnshaw takes us on a journey through her innovative theory about the toxic familial waste that can plague our inner psychological space. She describes how family members can experience ‘age-linked major life events’ noting that experiences that are ‘undigested’, not spoken about or shared in the lives of adult parents, have a tendency of emerging in unexpected crises at the same age for their children. With examples ranging from Mozart to Jung to Alan Turing as well as patient cases, Averil convincingly conveys the psychological work that needs to be done in order to spare our children from unanticipated and unearned struggles.
