The developmental age matching, I think, is important because every child that age thinks their parent doesn't understand them and never went through anything like this. But this is she's like me. And of course, parents are identity figures. I'm like her.

ascending, descending, and oscillating. These are not about particular stories. It's about the shape of the whole family saga, so to speak. So this is really the family history. So ascending, in some sense, it's the American dream. You know, we came with nothing, we worked hard, and we succeeded. Ta-da! Descending is things are bad, they only got worse, things are never going to get better.

And oscillating is life happens. There's good in life. There's bad in life. We will talk about the bad things that happened, but we'll also put them in the context of all of the good things that happened. So, for example, we came, we worked hard. Unfortunately, we didn't have as much success as we might have liked. There were some back steps that we had to take, but we overcame.

And now we are here and we're still together. That's a characterization because all family sagas are a little bit of all of those. But the problem with an ascending everything's great all the time is it's not. And life happens. And if that's your model, when something bad happens, you have no resources. You have no, well, I know Grandpa Joe went through something like this and was okay.

You have nothing to rely on. So you just have no coping skills. Descending, of course, is this kind of spiraling down into rumination. So the oscillating story is one where you have a sense of life has its ups and downs, but we are a strong, persevering family. We will overcome. We will get through this. ¶¶

Transgression stories are stories that really challenge our sense of who we are. We did something that we're ashamed of, not proud of, we feel guilty about. We hurt somebody or did something wrong. And we all do it. I mean, hopefully in our lives, small transgressions. We lie. We cheat. Maybe we do a little bit of stealing or we betray a trust. We break a promise.

So, for example, we're working with adolescents. So the stories that the parents tell, the transgressions are minor. They cheated on an exam. Relatively minor. A lot of them are about lying to their parent or sneaking out. I think sometimes adolescents and young adults think that their parents don't understand their what it is to go through teenage angst.
