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, etc), genealogy (family tree research), and paleoanthropology (the search for our human origins)?  It is all about who we are and where we come from.........In psychoanalytic therapy you go back through your personal childhood. I was 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 beginnings 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 the trip of a lifetime to Africa  to study ancient human fossils......These experiences in " finding  my roots"  have all helped me tremendously to discover more about who I am, and where I came from!!
