2000 Among the managers of one of the companies, I am going on a business trip to learn the experience of forming a corporate culture from a more advanced trading company. We are having the usual conversations on the road. We discuss work and home matters. I talk about how every evening my children and I sit down at the table and, interrupting each other, tell each other how the day went. And on Saturdays I bake pancakes. And on Easter we get together with a large group of close people (parents, children, grandchildren) and go around 5 cemeteries where my husband’s relatives are buried, where the history of the family is once again “settled” and annually supplemented with fresh stories and good stories. February 23...Not long ago, receiving socks on February 23, and a kitchen towel on March 8 was considered a great joy. We knew WHAT we would get as a gift and were really looking forward to these stupid gifts. In fact, we were waiting for a meeting, another family fuss and cabbage pies for grandfather Komarov (an amazing person and an excellent university teacher). These were special pies. My father-in-law is no longer alive, I try to do something similar and sometimes, according to the children, I succeed. 2 weeks of New Year holidays. My now adult children, ahead of their favorite poodle, still look under the tree in the morning expecting to see all sorts of things there and complain that in recent years Santa Claus has become greedy. In response, my colleagues said: “Komarova, you have a corporate culture "Times and habits are changing, gifts have become more expensive, meetings have become more rare. We create family films, presentations for birthdays and significant events, photo books, and organize New Year's carnivals. In honor of the 25th anniversary of our marriage, I created the coat of arms of the Komarov family and a Recipe Book our family. My daughter-in-law has already had her eye on the flash drive with the coat of arms. And I’m just glad that she took my idea very seriously. After all, it is my first grandson who is the successor of the Komarov family. We are an ordinary family in which there are certainly difficult life situations and crises. While compiling the genogram, I talked with my mother-in-law, my mother, and acquaintances who know my relatives well. I heard a lot of important and valuable things. It's interesting, useful and helps explain a lot of things. Having compiled a genogram of two families in three generations, I see the repetition of situations. Some of them we all really like (for example, children’s holidays with grandparents of 2 generations already on a ship. Now perhaps it’s our turn to take our grandson), and some make life very difficult and it’s difficult to cope with them emotionally painlessly. The family map explains a lot - everyday life, habits, family relationships, decision-making, the presence of illnesses. There are two words on the coat of arms - “Unity and love.” These are my personal values, words that are important to me. I love my family, I'm proud of my family. “Unity and love” - with these words I go through life, untying life’s complex knots and knots in my own family. FAMILY MAP Each of us is a member of the family of our ancestors, part of the family system. Belonging to a family system is one of the very important and significant resources of a person, which can significantly increase the effectiveness of his life. A genogram allows you to work with family history - a schematic representation of a family and information about it in several generations. This method was developed by the famous American psychotherapist Murray Bowen, one one of the founders of systemic family psychotherapy. It is based on the assumption that families repeat themselves. The power of traditional genograms lies in creating a visual representation of family histories, myths, legends, rules, the spectrum of relationships, their interrelationships across generations, and their influence on contemporary behavioral patterns. The more knowledge about the family lineage, the more accurate the genogram. The genogram covers the history of several generations and contains a lot of interesting information. The benefits of collecting such information are obvious. Integrating disparate data is the first step to analysis..
