You know how there are those people in your family who always get into the same argument at Thanksgiving and make everybody uncomfortable?


​Maybe you are a "turkey" in the argument. Maybe you are a "turkey" cringing in the background, or trying to break it up.


Well, it doesn't have to be that way! 


Holidays are a time when this is particularly likely to to occur. Being with family members stirs up emotion, and outside stressors tend to be higher.


Staying away can relieve tension in the short term, but the fact is that with family, you may not be able to live with 'em, but you can't live without 'em either. You're in the family emotional system even if they are all dead.

So how to avoid the short-term “fix” that makes things continue in exactly the same way? How to shift the family permanently so you and everyone can benefit? Click here to find out!

Don't be a turkey and miss out on the unparalleled opportunity that family gatherings provide. There's no better way to ramp up your personal growth and promote family healing!
