Family Trends
The trends and patterns that I have identify within my genogram are many of my family members actively use illicit substances. The use of drugs is seen within the last 3 generations of my genogram. Their drug of choice is alcohol, heroin, crack cocaine and marijuana. Although drug use is prevalent many of the members of my family are in recovery.

However in this class I learn genograms shows trends, patterns and showing the clients these patterns and trends are during sessions. I never let the client see the finish version of the genogram. A lot of my colleagues completed the genograms to meet the requirement of case management. I have done 3 different trainings on genograms and none of the training resonated with me more than this doing this assignment. I see how to use genograms now and how effective this tool can be. I in just 3 short months, I have worked through so much that I did not even know existed within me. I believe genograms can show the person some hidden histories about themselves.
