Response Two

I agree that family histories are one tool used by career counselors to help their clients make informed decisions, and therapists may have a better understanding of the client’s family dynamic by reviewing their genograms (Sharf, 2013). According to your post, apart from guiding the selection of a treatment strategy, a genogram may provide light on the client’s family’s occupational trends. Clients may use the picture produced by the genogram to get insight into how our family history has influenced our professional paths. Your post states that when you made your genogram, you noticed a trend in your family’s occupations on both sides of the family. There are noticeable trends in the many fields of work. You can see that your dad’s professional decision impacted your brother’s path. In addition, several members of your family have worked in industries such as manufacturing, hospital/restaurant linen services, and so on. Your parents encouraged you to further your education, and you believe this was influenced by their job choices and those of other family members.
