Dr. Reedy discusses the value in our lives of living in different contexts. A difference context allows you to see your own context and provides perspective for understanding the implicit, unwritten, and unspoken messages of your family of origin and your day to day life. A safe therapeutic context can help repair shame and the feeling that you are not okay. A safe context is the starting place for healing and addressing symptoms that started as coping mechanisms.
