As we walk through aspects of Gil’s childhood & adolescence in and tie them to actions and reactions throughout his lifespan, we hope this prompts you to examine the impact of divorce on the development of a child and how this profound trauma creates a new life trajectory for an individual that otherwise would not have existed.  

By bringing together real-life emotion with the underlying psychology, you will gain an ability to go deeper than just beneath the surface and evaluate your own upbringing in light of the relationships to which you were exposed and how they have influenced your current understanding of marriage.  

Influencers have always, and will always, be everywhere.

For an adolescent; family, friends, school, and work, along with the transitions that occur during each of these areas serve as the backdrop to where thought processes ripen. Therefore, identity, autonomy, intimacy and achievement take shape as a function of development. Each of these pieces of the puzzle is explored in a module which uses Gil’s self-assessment as a starting point toward a deeper understanding of why relationship partners behave the way they do.
