Psychotherapy, Geneaology, and a Trip to Africa!

Have you figured out the connection between psychoanalytic therapy ( and now neuropsychoanalytic therapy via the writings of Mark Solms),  genealogy ( family tree research), and paleoanthropology ( the search for our human origins in Africa)? It is all about who we are and where we come from. .......In psychoanalytic therapy you go back through your personal childhood. I am fortunate to have spent a number of years doing that.  In genealogical research you take it a step further to the tracing of your ancestors to their beginning in history. I have done that as well. Just this year I was able to travel to the United Kingdom and visit the countries of my ancestors' origins. And when you travel to Africa to study ancient human fossils, as I was able to do ( in 2015), you get to go all the way back to the beginning of your roots in humankind's origin....... So personal psychoanalytic psychotherapy.....  Family Tree Research in the United Kingdom ..... And a  trip of a lifetime ---the trip to Africa  to study ancient human fossils. These experiences in " finding  my roots"  have helped me to discover more about who I am, and where I came from!!
