(Original Post from Dr. Brenner’s personal Blog, June 8, 2013)

I have missed posting my blog for the past two to three weeks as a result of fracturing my pelvis on a paddle board, celebrating my 80th, and then pneumonia the following week.  These experiences sidelined the posting of and discussion of the second question that I ask patients to elicit recurring trans-generational emotional patterns and their impact.

“Groundhog Day”

I am learning, again…….and again…….and again,  how each event in life is filled with meaning and purpose.  I am also aware again…..and again and again, how often I get the message, forget the message, and get what appears to be a new experience.  Yet hidden within this “new experience” is the same message I f….king forgot.

Back to the drawing board. But who’s drawing?
